I do not know, many configuration files to many tools can be added to
"something.d" directories which survive update or can also be
overriden in user's home. In addition, redhat based distros can detect
that a configuration files has user modification and the update will
not overwrite it but will be put to something.conf.new and the admin
has to choose what to do with it. Anyway, you should contact the
maintainers f your distro as well as zsh maintainers because other
users will have the same problem unless it is reported by someone and
fixed.
