Hello  
I am used working with Breseq on the Galaxy Pasteur platform. However, I tried to use it today and I obtained this error each time :  
File “/pasteur/zeus/projets/p00/galaxy-prod/shed\_tools/toolshed.pasteur.fr/repos/mvalade/breseq/a26a79abdb94/breseq/breseq\_wrapper.py”, line 50  
shutil.copytree(“output”, outdir)  
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation  
/usr/share  
Could you please tell me what is the problem ?  
Thank you  
Hedi

This is a programming error in a tool privately hosted by the Pasteur team.  
People here can certainly explain what the error means and what’s wrong with the tool, but cannot fix it so a better way forward with this is reporting the problem via email to [galaxy@pasteur.fr](mailto:galaxy@pasteur.fr).

You can also point them to this issue here so that they can discuss things publicly with you if they want to.

Cheers,  
Wolfgang
