Deprecated: This package is deprecated.

Reason: Please depend on virtual/zlib, unless you are sure that the package in question is not compatible with sys-libs/zlib-ng[compat] and/or sys-libs/minizip-ng[compat]. In the latter case, please report a bug, so that upstream can improve the API/ABI compatibility. This is a temporary deprecation to aid transitioning packages imported from other repositories.
