[Bug 894450] Re: [Oneiric] Symbolic link to libz.a in Ubuntu 11.10 is missing from /lib/

[Julian Taylor]

libz has been multiarched, the library is in the correct location
doom3's build is wrong, it should not hardcode /usr/lib but let the linker handle finding it.

** Changed in: zlib (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
