Public bug reported: wget can use zlib1g for a few features, notably --compression support. The Debian package doesn't explicitly build-depend on zlib1g-dev, it gets it via libgnutls28-dev; since the Ubuntu package drops the latter, compression support is lost too.
Please consider adding zlib1g-dev. (I've also asked the Debian maintainer to do so, see the linked bug; however the libgnutls28-dev removal in Ubuntu should take this into account IMO.) ** Affects: wget (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: wget (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #907047 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=907047 ** Also affects: wget (Debian) via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=907047 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to wget in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788608 Title: wget doesn't support compression, it needs zlib1g-dev Status in wget package in Ubuntu: New Status in wget package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: wget can use zlib1g for a few features, notably --compression support.
