[Bug 439407] [NEW] Abort class-pclzip.php : Missing zlib extensions

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

upon updating my ubuntu-server to karmic alpha6 I am having trouble with
zlib1g package claiming to not be installed when it is!

example 1:
I use WordPress (2.9-rare) and I use a plug-in called Google XML Sitemaps, this uses the zlib1g package for compression but when run it fails to complete stating that "Fatal error: Call to undefined function gzopen() in /var/www/blog/wp-content/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/sitemap-core.php on line 1711"

example 2:
I also use the auto update feature as I'm using the daily builds, I get the following error from zlib1g "Abort class-pclzip.php : Missing zlib extensions"

So as you can see from example 1 "gzopen" is undefined but it's part of
the zlib1g package right? and in example 2 it is failing to unzip a file
this to is a function of zlib1g as well right?

All functionality of both these plug-ins was working fine with Jaunty!
now broken under Karmic :(
