I don't think they're patching anything zip-related. I'm just thinking that Sigil (and they're certainly not using Sigil's included minizip source when building) is being built against different versions of repo-supplied minzip libraries.

I'll be honest ... I'm grasping at straws here. I have no idea why the default compression program on a linux system would have any bearing on how (or if) Sigil unzips a plugin file for installation. I just know that on a custom-built Sigil, its unzipping ability (minzip) is typically linked right into the Sigil executable itself, instead of passing it off to separate system libs.
