Archiso Conflicting files

I was building a custom Archiso as a backup for my current setup. I followed the arch wiki to do so. But when running the mkarchiso command, the following error shows up:-

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
grml-zsh-config: /home/archuser/ArchIso/work/x86_64/airootfs/etc/skel/.zshrc exists in filesystem. Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root.

I had created a .zshrc file for Zsh configuration and included it in /etc/skell/.zshrc according to the Arch Wiki.
But the error showed up.
And then it exits.

Please guide me.

Re: Archiso Conflicting files

Not much explaining to be done here, the notification is pretty clear.
grml-zsh-config will create a zshrc for you.
So either don't use grml-zsh-config and use your own zshrc file or use grml-zsh-config and let it create the config file for you but later on in the process change the config file to adapt to your changes with F.I. a sed script or a ready config you paste in place. Welcome to arch ;-)
