Fedora 41 cannot install rpm because of zlib

[tomkr4l]

Describe the bug
Unable to install fedora rpm packages due to zlib problem.

Please note, that I have both zlib-ng-compat and zlib-ng-compat-devel installed.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download webos-dev-manager-1.99.5-1.x86_64.rpm
2. Try install rpm with Software center.
3. You get an error nothing provides zlib (>=1.2.11) needed by webos-dev-manager-1.99.5-1.x86_64 from @commandline

Expected behavior
Install dev manager without an error.

Additional context

• OS: Fedora 41

In latest fedora, zlib package is replaced with zlib-ng which provides same interface as zlib.

I'm having similar issues getting the rpm to install, also on Fedora 41.

In my case I just get a generic error that says "There was an issue during the update or installation process", but it wouldn't surprise me if the root cause is the same.

force install it without dependencies, since zlib-ng should be installed (check it beforehand)

sudo rpm -ivh --nodeps webos-dev-manager-1.99.5-1.x86_64.rpm
