Sorry for this messy situation. With the next release Galaxy will be able to set metadata using any version of samtools due to an excellent fix by Nate - so this hopefully will become less of an issue. -John On Mon, Feb 23, 2015 at 10:01 AM, Peter Cock <p.j.a.cock@googlemail.com> wrote:

I figured that galaxy must be finding a samtools v1.1 even though the tool was not installed, according to the admin page. I uninstalled the samtools that was installed system-wide on the server. Now I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/jobs/runners/local.py", line 129, in queue_job job_wrapper.finish( stdout, stderr, exit_code ) File "/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/jobs/__init__.py", line 1107, in finish dataset.datatype.set_meta( dataset, overwrite=False ) # call datatype.set_meta directly for the initial set_meta call during dataset creation File "/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/datatypes/binary.py", line 250, in set_meta raise Exception, "Error Setting BAM Metadata: %s" % stderr Exception: Error Setting BAM Metadata: /bin/sh: 1: samtools: not found
So, galaxy is not using the samtools from the installed galaxy package and is instead using the system one. I'll try to reinstall samtools and see if that fixes it...
In this case Galaxy itself expects samtools on the $PATH for managing BAM files separately from which ever tool you are using within Galaxy.
The Galaxy Tool Shed dependencies are on a per-tool basis, and not used by Galaxy itself.
This ought to be on the wiki somewhere, but I failed to find it...
