nf-core modules lint --fix produces mangled output #3901
Description
Description of the bug
When I use nf-core/modules lint --fix on a module PR, the resulting meta.yml does not successfully lint.
The PR where I encountered the issue: nf-core/modules#9360
The meta.yml at time of writing: https://github.com/nf-core/modules/blob/042a85dfd3a924e299099a22b299b077d7d722a5/modules/nf-core/trident/fetch/meta.yml
Command used and terminal output
The original linting error:
