There may very well be a bug here of the form of "zlib dependency is considered soft, but then something else breaks". However, in your current situation, my recommendation would be to install the zlib development libraries and retry the build. You may be able to get that with: $ sudo apt-get build-dep python3 or possibly search your package manager for "zlib*-dev" (on my Debian, it's zlib1g-dev). That should give you the full de/compression suite, which will in turn make ensurepip work.
