Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: zsh-4.2.0-1

Peter,
There is a posting in Gmane which explains that it's a packaging error

>Sounds like a packaging bug.

And right you are:

$ cat /etc/postinstall/zsh.sh.done
#!/bin/sh
V=4.1.1
^^^^^^^
Should be 4.2.0

prefix=/usr
infodir=${prefix}/share/info

[snip]

# Install default zprofile if needed
if [ ! -f /etc/zprofile ]; then
  echo "Installing default /etc/zprofile"
  install -c -m 755 /usr/doc/zsh-$V/StartupFiles/zprofile
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Should be /usr/share/doc
