Wouldn't it be better to use:

        <requirement type="package" version="1.6">htslib</requirement>

instead? 0.2.5 is pretty ancient and tabix has been distributed as part of htslib for ages.

I just try to fix the old package. The multicontainer builds are failing because of this. Thats also the reason I have not bumped the tool version number.
Is this ok for you?

That's not the only problematic requirement in this tool collection:

tool_collections/vcftools/vcftools_annotate/vcftools_annotate.xml
5:        <requirement type="binary">echo</requirement>

tool_collections/vcftools/vcftools_isec/vcftools_isec.xml
5:        <requirement type="package">tabix</requirement>

tool_collections/vcftools/vcftools_merge/vcftools_merge.xml
5:        <requirement type="package">tabix</requirement>

tool_collections/vcftools/vcftools_slice/vcftools_slice.xml
5:        <requirement type="binary">echo</requirement>

tool_collections/vcftools/vcftools_subset/vcftools_subset.xml
5:        <requirement type="package">tabix</requirement>

Also, tool_collections/vcftools/vcftools_consensus/vcftools_consensus.xml is already using htslib to provide tabix:

<requirement type="package" version="1.3.2">htslib</requirement>

Finally, I noticed that:

The upstream vcftools seems to be maintained, so it may be worth to use a more sustainable solution?
