Hi Chris,

this was a race condition where you built samtools 1.3-1 against htslib
1.3.1-1.  Now, with samtools 1.3.1-1 which entered the archive yesterday, the
reproducibility build should work (as it did on the buildds).

I have tightened the build-dependancy to libhts-dev >= 1.3.1, just in case:
since we see that samtools 1.3 does not work with htslib 1.3.1, I worry
that the converse will be true as well.

Perhaps we also need htslib 1.3.1 to "Break" samtools < 1.3.1... I cloned
this bug to address that issue.

Have a nice day,
