Hi,

One of the latest releases of textinfo (7.0) includes a new feature to convert texi source files to epub using the texi2any tool.
This is noted in the NEWS file: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/texinfo.git/tree/NEWS#n94

I recently try to use it and the program exits with an error code and an error message:
texi2any: Archive::Zip is required for EPUB file output

This new feature requires a new dependency to be able to use it, which it's commented in the code itself: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/texinfo.git/tree/tp/README?id=4c714085e0b03a172979a5a9926b76a32d30cfbb#n23

Therefore, I suggest to add the package perl-archive-zip as an optional dependency to enable the use of this feature.

Greetings
This task depends upon
