Dear Martin,
Thanks for your input. Before answering the raised questions I would like to add some more information that I just found:
I've noticed something odd (to me) which is maybe the source of the problem. My galaxy installation has galaxy_utils installed twice:
- lib/galaxy_utils/sequence/fastq.py
- database/dependencies/galaxy_sequence_utils/1.0.0/devteam/package_galaxy_utils_1_0/8882f14715b5/lib/python/galaxy_sequence_utils-1.0.0-py2.7.egg/galaxy_utils/sequence/fastq.py
The two files have different content. Only the former imports the six module and the former is used by fastq_trimmer_by_quality (as you see in the python stack trace).
The former is already installed in a fresh clone of galaxy (I have checked for 16.07 and 16.10).
The Dependency Resolver Details show that fastq_trimmer_by_quality requires galaxy_sequence_utils 1.0.1, but I can not find this version in my galaxy installation after installing fastq_trimmer_by_quality (find . -iname "galaxy_sequence_utils").
If I install galaxy_sequence_utils 1.0.1 manually (only available from TS) the 1.0.0 version in the database/dependencies/galaxy_sequence_utils is replaced by 1.0.1 (which seems also odd to me - shouldn't both versions be available?).
Anyway, it makes no difference to the python import error if this version is installed or not, since still the version in lib/ is used.
what version of Galaxy are you running?
I am using galaxy 16.10.
The tool you have installed seems to support only new Galaxies that have Conda dependency resolution enabled. We are currently in the middle of the transition of the Galaxy's ecosystem to this new dependency manager so there are rough edges here and there - sorry about that. You can read details about Conda and dependency resolution here: https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/admin/conda_faq.html
Since Galaxy 16.07 you can switch the `conda_auto_init` in Galaxy's config to True and after restart Galaxy will install Conda itself.
I'm using the default dependency_resolvers_conf.xml (ie I don't have the file). Furthermore I have set:
conda_auto_install = True conda_auto_init = True conda_copy_dependencies = True
Therefore I recommend you (with Galaxy newer than 16.07) to uninstall the tool, install Conda (with conda_auto_init) and install the tool again. That will install the needed dependency for the tool. If you have older Galaxy please update it.
I did uncheck the checkbox for TS dependencies during the tool installation. I was wondering that galaxy_sequence_utils is not shown as installed in "Manage installed tools". It seems to make no difference if I install it manually or not.
Cheers, Matthias
Please let us know about any questions you have and thanks for using Galaxy.
Martin

This appears to be a missing dependency on the Python module "six" which is used to help write code which will work under both Python 2 and Python 3. This is likely a recent regression - hopefully one of the Galaxy team can comment on this, likely the Tool Shed definition for this tool needs a minor tweak (and then you can apply the update via the Galaxy Admin controls within your browser). > Another question: At my institution quite a lot of NGS projects are carried > out.

Yes please, with useful email subjects would be best. Peter ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client.
