This is not a bug in the package, the library package is built at the
same time as the -dev package and -7 of both is available in the archive.
When something like this happens you need to check that the relevant
pacakge is actually missing, frequently it's a bug in the dependency
(eg, it itself has an unsatisfied depend and is uninstallable) but in
this case it looks like a bug in apt as the dependencies for zlib1g are
very basic.
