You have asked the same question here and seems like you got a suggestion. Did it work? If not, I think you should be resolving it in that thread rather than opening a new one which asks the same question.

Create a new environment and install into it:

conda create -n samtools_env -c bioconda samtools
conda activate samtools_env

there's no any other solution as samtools was working good before ?
