Comment 16 for bug 1961427

Good to have this follow-up, indeed ...
(For a fix in htslib either a new LP bug is needed or htslib needs to be added to this one as 'affecting package'.)

So I did some investigations and found that the "Remove compressBound assertions." merge request #1258 got upstream accepted with htslib v1.13:
$ git log --oneline --grep "Remove compressBound assertions"
515f6df Remove compressBound assertions. (PR #1258)
$ git tag --contains 515f6df
1.13
1.14
1.15
1.15.1
But we already have v1.13 in the latest Ubuntu releases:
$ rmadison -a source htslib
 htslib | 0.2.0~rc3-1 | trusty/universe | source
 htslib | 1.2.1-2ubuntu1 | xenial/universe | source
 htslib | 1.7-2 | bionic/universe | source
 htslib | 1.10.2-3 | focal/universe | source
 htslib | 1.13+ds-2 | impish/universe | source
 htslib | 1.13+ds-2build1 | jammy/universe | source
 htslib | 1.13+ds-2build1 | kinetic/universe | source

So PR #1258 is already included in the htslib version of kinetic/22.10, jammy/22.04 and impish/21.10 (and I even double-checked the code).
It's not included in focals/20.04 v1.10.x - and it looks like the PR cannot be simply applied to v1.10, since the code in v1.10 is too different - which will be a problem.

Since the regression was found in jammy's zlib 1.2.11.dfsg-2ubuntu8 in combination with 1.13+ds-2build1 - I am unsure if PR #1258 is really the fix or if there something else needed on top?
Any thoughts?
