[Bioc-devel] Increase version of system dependency?

[Sarvesh Nikumbh]

Hi Vince,

I did attempt to use basilisk for seqArchR, but met with some errors then.
See https://github.com/LTLA/basilisk/issues/13

If anyone has tried basilisk with BiocParallel, I will be happy to reach
out and find a way to mediate via basilisk.

I will write to you separately with more details if it is ok. I will be
glad to make basilisk+biocParallel work for seqArchR.

Best,
  Sarvesh
