I've done some digging for you on this.  Firstly, `libzip` which holds the `libzip5` binary package is in Universe, meaning that it gets patched when it has to but for the most part is in line with Debian, except for a handful of patches which handle failing package tests.

In Debian, sometime between versions 1.5.x and 1.7.x the package names changed from libzip5 to libzip4.  As such, the package is `libzip4` in Hirsute now.

There is *no* changelog entry for this that matches this, so I've added Ondrej Sury who is one of the uploaders of the package to this as they may have insight into what happened here to cause this.

Ondrej, can you provide any insight into what happened and why the package went from libzip5 to libzip4?

Hello fello quality team members,

Testing hirsute on my new computer and whilst installing QGIS I note that libzip5, which is in focal and groovy, is missing from hirsute, which only
seems to have libzip4.

Any thoughts on where to report this beyond tossing it into the discussion
here?


Greetings,

https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/libzip5

Looks like the maintainers are ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com . Maybe ask there and see if someone can give you more details on why it hasn't been built yet.

You might want to look through the archives to see if anyone has mentioned it though: http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/

Hope that helps.
Ed
