Research direction

Start with the Posit Package Manager package overview linked in the issue and inspect the system-requirements information for httpuv on Red Hat 8. Verify whether zlib-devel is still listed and identify the source of that metadata; done means the Red Hat 8 requirements no longer name an unavailable package.

Description

install.packages("httpuv") doesn't work on our Red Hat 8 server, and I looked up the system level dependencies on Posit Package Manager. It lists zlib-devel as a depency if I select Red hat 8, but this package is no longer available and looks like it should be updated within the package's system requirements information.
