I've tried to clarify this exception message in the latest code.

For anyone interested in the details, see CVS revision 1.6 of
Bio/AlignIO/EmbossIO.py which is viewable online:

http://cvs.biopython.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/biopython/Bio/AlignIO/EmbossIO.py?cvsroot=biopython

There is no reason to update your installation João as this will make
no difference to you - parsing the old EMBOSS 2.9.0 needle output will
still fail.
