Hi @kafker ,  
Thanks for reporting! We have not seen this error before, so it might be related to the very very recent release of GTDB 214 (just a few days ago; we have not had time to extensively test yet). We will investigate.

As a workaround for now, you can train a classifier with q2-feature-classifier instead ([as shown in the previous step of that tutorial](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/how-to-train-a-gtdb-ssu-classifier-using-rescript/25725#train-the-gtdb-classifier-teacher-5), so you have probably done this already).

Just out of curiosity, what kind of environment are you running this in? I see that you are running qiime2-2023.2 — but what other plugins or packages have you installed in that environment?
