What is it you actually want? The library? Or the ability to zip/unzip files? If you want the lib try just “sudo apt install libzip” if you want the program to process zip files just do “sudo apt install unzip”. Answer from jloc0 on reddit.com

r/linuxquestions on Reddit: Fightcade2 needs libzip.so.5 for Dreamcast games, but how do I install that on Ubuntu 21.10?
October 22, 2021 -

I would certainly love to play some Soul Calibur online, and it theoretically has rollback on Fightcade2 now. Unfortunately, it crashes when I try to launch it, and the terminal output says it's looking for libzip.so.5. On Kubuntu 21.10, I apparently only have repositories for libzip4. Is there any way to add one for libzip5? It must be an obscure enough problem, because my Google searching isn't finding me anything for how to get it on a non-LTS Ubuntu distro.

EDIT: I seem to have found a repository that I can add, from here. Installed okay, but Fightcade2 still has issues on Soul Calibur.

(1) Locate a newer version of libzip and libzip-dev on Launchpad. Currently it's 1.5.1 under The Eoan Ermine. Download the correct deb files (libzip-dev_1.5.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb and libzip5_1.5.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb).

(2) Install them with

sudo dpkg -i libzip-dev_1.5.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb libzip5_1.5.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

They may be missing some dependencies, you can try to install them with apt first, so you don't need to download any more "incompatible" packages from Launchpad. Then rerun this command.

(3) Install php-zip. Install PEAR (PECL) to upgrade php-zip to a newer version. Also install php-dev required by PECL to build php-zip.

sudo apt install php-zip php-pear php-dev

(4) Upgrade php-zip to support the newer libzip.

sudo pecl install zip

(5) Probably you don't need the development libraries any more.

sudo apt purge php-dev libzip-dev
sudo apt autoremove

(6) See phpinfo() if you have the correct libzip version. You may need to restart your webserver.

(7) You can prevent apt from automatically upgrading your php-zip, breaking your custom installation. But then you should remember to manually upgrade php with pecl, or check if the newer version supports the newer libzip. (See installed version with sudo dpkg -l | grep zip)

sudo apt-mark hold php<installed version>-zip

To get back the original version (assuming you've used libzip5, and you don't need the previously installed packages):

sudo apt-mark unhold php<installed version>-zip
sudo pecl uninstall zip
sudo apt purge php-pear libzip5 php-zip
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install php-zip
