Hello! I am having an issue where timeshift-autosnap functions properly after updating packages, however, old snapshots are not deleted. This is my config:
➜ cat /etc/timeshift-autosnap.conf
#
# /etc/timeshift-autosnap.conf
#
# skipAutosnap defines if timeshift-autosnap execution should be skipped.
# Default value is false.
skipAutosnap=false
# deleteSnapshots defines if old snapshots should be deleted.
# Default value is true.
deleteSnapshots=true
# maxSnapshots defines how much old snapshots script should left.
# Only positive whole numbers can be used.
# Default value is 3.
maxSnapshots=10
# updateGrub defines if grub entries should be auto-generated.
# If grub-btrfs package is not installed grub won't be generated.
# Default value is true.
updateGrub=true
# snapshotDescription defines value used to distinguish snapshots created using timeshift-autosnap
# Default value is "{timeshift-autosnap} {created before upgrade}".
snapshotDescription={timeshift-autosnap} {created before upgrade}And this is the output for when I run timeshift-autosnap directly in console:
❯ sudo timeshift-autosnap

Unmount /tmp/grub-btrfs.sDQBm3R7Rp .. Success
done I am confused because I clearly have maxSnapshots=10 and deleteSnapshots=true in timeshift-autosnap.cfg, but it is not deleting snapshots.
