[Bug 1664595] Comment bridged from LTC Bugzilla

[bugproxy]

Upgrade to newest version available.

When filing version upgrade requests, could you please elaborate why you
want them? e.g. are there specific features and/or bug fixes you are
after? Rather than just an updated string in --version.

Also I guess you do not mean the on-the-fly auto-uncompressing C
library, but you mean zlib; will update meta data.

Guessing you are after:

- Add crc32_z() and adler32_z() functions with size_t lengths

Which was added in 1.2.9; which had regressions fixed eventually in
1.2.11.

This bug was fixed in the package zlib - 1:1.2.11.dfsg-0ubuntu1

---------------
zlib (1:1.2.11.dfsg-0ubuntu1) zesty; urgency=medium

* New upstream release. LP: #1664595
* Drop CVE patches, applied upstream.
* Add watch file, with GPG tarball checking, and version mangling.
* Add stanzas to debian/copyright file to automatically repackage
tarball into dfsg tarball.
* Add new symbols.
