it was more obvious in libextractor-0.5.23, but libextractor has copied minizip from zlib into src/common/unzip.c.  it should use -lminizip instead.

might need a little work to remove the libextractor-specific symbols from the unzip.c code though.

this is likely still true for 1.0.0

the unzip.c from >=libextractor-1.3 looks very different from code of unzip.c from >=zlib-1.2.8
even if they used the old unzip.c from old zlib as initial example for writing libextractor's unzip.c, they have now evolved into different direction
this doesn't look something we should be doing, but you could suggest it to upstream if they want to rewrite the file
