"error: No package owns /etc/zsh/zprofile"

well that's dang weird. while i've acquired a lot of Zsh config that i'm currently refactoring, zprofile still has the same creation date and time as the other /etc/zsh files. i'll just rm it manually, but this is my first pacman upgrade error so i thought i'd report it just in case something was packaged wrong.

No package owns it so we didn't install it, you did. Remove it, and run the update again.
