Installing OVFtool 4.3.0 U3 on Fedora 31
I'm trying to install the OVFtool (version 4.3.0 U3) on my Fedora 31 workstation, but the install bundle file fails with this error:
sudo ./VMware-ovftool-4.3.0-13981069-lin.x86_64.bundle
Extracting VMware Installer...done.
Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'zlib'
From research I've seen various notes that some packages (ncurses-compat-libs python3-gzipstream python3-zipstream zlib-devel) might be missing, but these are all installed and up-to-date.
Any further suggestions?
I suspect that it might be Python-3 related (this has Python 3.7.5), but as Python 2 is end-of-life in January I would have expected the 4.3.0-U3 release to be updated already.
