Dear Maintainer,

the luazlib contains a check, which checks if the zlib version it was
linked with (compile time) is the same as which is used during
run time.

texlive-bin_2023.20230311.66589-7/texk/web2c/luatexdir/luazlib/lzlib.c

    if (strncmp(version, ZLIB_VERSION, 4))
    {
        lua_pushfstring(L, "zlib library version does not match - header: %s, library: %s", ZLIB_VERSION, version);
        lua_error(L);
    }

This check caused a few issues in the past (issue #w/o bug in 2014, #1056183)

Currently the issue has been remedied by relaxing the check. One should
check if it is needed at all.

Hilmar
