[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#807979: bamtools cannot open bam files on big endian systems

[Dominique Belhachemi]

Package: bamtools
Version: 2.4.0+dfsg-2
Severity: grave


This bug affects big endian systems (mips, powerpc, ...) . It is not
possible to handle bam files.

Here is a quick test case:

$ bamtools count -in test.bam
bamtools count ERROR: could not open input BAM file(s)... Aborting.


I filed a bug report upstream with a detailed explanation.
