[Solved] Using Zstandard instead of xz for package compression
As far as I can see, the paccache utility now keeps more old versions than the k that you specify. I don't have enough .zst files yet to see if it is pruning files with this extension, but it is not combining .xz and .zst in adding up the versions. Are there plans to update paccache?

Re: [Solved] Using Zstandard instead of xz for package compression
I can't reproduce and I am using [testing]. -k2 is my default setting for paccache and I only have two versions of installed packages in my cache.
Further, if you read the script, paccache doesn't care about the compression tool. It is searching on package name/versions.

I'm sorry about that, you are correct.
I was using -k2 and a --ignore list, but I was missing a comma in the list. It's working fine now.
