Public bug reported:
https://github.com/zlib-ng/minizip-ng
From upstream:
"Minizip was originally developed by Gilles Vollant in 1998. It was
first included in the zlib distribution as an additional code
contribution starting in zlib 1.1.2. Since that time, it has been
continually improved upon and contributed to by many people. The
original project can still be found in the zlib distribution that is
maintained by Mark Adler.
"The motivation behind this [fork] has been the need for new features
and bug fixes to the original library which had not been maintained for
a long period of time. The code has been largely refactored and
rewritten in order to help improve maintainability and readability. A
compatibility layer has been provided for consumers of the original
minizip library."

blender currently FTBFS. To resolve, it needs to be upgraded. blender
5.0.1 requires a newer version of opencolorio (2.5 or higher).
opencolorio has a build-dependency on minizip, but 2.5 and higher
require minizip-ng as the original minizip was abandoned upstream and
forked as mentioned above.
The only rdepends for opencolorio is openimageio, which is satisfied by
way of a NCR.
minizip-ng is backwards-compatible with minizip and serves the same
purpose. However, there are some libraries that are *not* compatible
with this newer version. As such, it needs to be a separate package.
This will keep a full-fledged transition from happening. I will note,
however, that Fedora has transitioned completely to minizip-ng, so this
may be desirable in the future.
