Dokku: `Compiling static nginx binary` deploy stage failing for 0.7.1 and for the latest version

[Firfi]

Description of problem:

I have a .static file in repo. This worked before, and I haven't made any changes on my server.
I thought it may be fixed in latest version but the error persists (however, another one, but still with nginx). The old error had to do something with cannot stat '/tmp/build/nginx. The new one I'll describe below.

Output of the following commands

Environment details (AWS, VirtualBox, physical, etc.):

How was Dokku installed?:

apt-get

How reproducible:

deploy the static site

Steps to Reproduce:

1. mkdir dokku-example && cd dokku-example && touch .static && touch index.html
2. tar cz . $* | ssh [email protected] "dokku tar:in app-name" (it isn't important if it's git push deploy; same error)

Actual Results:

Most important:

Download and unzip zlib
remote:
remote: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
remote: tar: Child returned status 1
remote: tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

then Compiling static nginx binary failing due to zlib:

cd ../zlib-1.2.8    && make distclean   && CFLAGS="-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe " CC="cc"     ./configure     && make libz.a
       make[1]: Leaving directory `/cache/nginx-1.10.1'
       /bin/sh: 1: cd: can't cd to ../zlib-1.2.8
       make[1]: *** [../zlib-1.2.8/libz.a] Error 2
       make: *** [install] Error 2
       make -f objs/Makefile install
       make[1]: Entering directory `/cache/nginx-1.10.1'
       cd ../zlib-1.2.8     && make distclean   && CFLAGS="-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe " CC="cc"     ./configure     && make libz.a
       make[1]: Leaving directory `/cache/nginx-1.10.1'
To dokku@[my app here]
 ! [remote rejected].

Expected Results:

deploy

Additional info:

Probably it's gzip installation failing that leads to nginx installation fail

I see a very probable relation to this: https://github.com/dokku/buildpack-nginx/commit/0a46959ef7509dbd441b04412fdfa46684005c7d

(maybe zlib release just disappeared)

temporary fix for anyone stumbling around

dokku config:set YOUR_APP BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/dokku/buildpack-nginx.git

It will check out the latest buildpack version (3 days ago)
