[Qgis-user] Issue with zip library in QGIS 18 / Ubuntu 21.04

[chris hermansen]

Hello everyone,

The QGIS 18 version for Ubuntu 21.04 "hirsute" depends on the Ubuntu
package libzip5:

$ apt-cache rdepends libzip5
libzip5
Reverse Depends:
  libqgis-core3.18.0
$

Unfortunately, libzip5 is not packaged in Ubuntu 21.04; instead there is a
> libzip4.  I asked colleagues on the Ubuntu quality control mailing list for

I'm writing to this list regarding this problem, but perhaps this note
should be redirected elsewhere - if anyone has suggestions please let me
know!
