[Bug 1810780] [NEW] FTBFS: missing zlib1g-dev

[Andreas Hasenack]

Public bug reported:

I'm not sure why it started failing all of a sudden. Must be because some dependency was dropped elsewhere, since lftp was always linked with zlib.
(...)
checking if zlib is wanted... yes
checking for inflateEnd in -lz... no
checking zlib.h usability... no
checking zlib.h presence... no
checking for zlib.h... no
configure: error: cannot find -lz library, install zlib-devel package
make: *** [debian/rules:24: configure-stamp] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build subprocess returned exit status 2
