Firstly, you need to install zlib1g-dev in your Linux system by the following command in a terminal.

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

To ensure you have installed all the required libraries, you can also use this command:

sudo apt-get install joe wget p7zip-full curl build-essential zlib1g-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev

Secondly, reboot the Linux system and/or restart at least the PAServer.

Afterward, go to your SDK manager in the Delphi IDE within Linux 64-Bit and press the button Update Local File Cache below the remote path list under Properties.

BTW: If you had followed these instructions http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/Linux_Application_Development properly in all points, this would not have happened to you ;).

Hi, I have the same error on CENTOS, what lib I must to install on centos 8? – Burnett

This is a great response, but I have to disagree with one thing. In my opinion almost no user of Delphi would actually read those instructions, since when you deploy the SDK and install the PAServer, you'd expect It to do all the required setup automatically, or at least inform the user, not leave It in an article on the wiki. Reading the documentation has become pretty rare these days :) – Lure
