Comment 4 for bug 439407

I'm also getting the error message "Abort class-pclzip.php : Missing zlib extensions" when I try to install new themes in Wordpress 2.8.4. I'm on Ubuntu Karmic Beta 1.

I don't know if it's a problem with zlib1g or php5-zlib. I seem to be missing zlib.so but don't know where to get it.
