i have a server that has not been booted since 2017, i tried upgrading with pacman -Syu, i have post the screen output at http://paste.openstack.org/show/788264/ i thought adding Eli Schwartz' personal repository to  pacman.conf would have allowed the upgrade with his Binary builds of pacman-static. is my problem still to do with the xz to zstd change or something different ?

shadrock You can use the ALA [0] to update to a specific date. Pick a date not too far before the first zst packages roll in, update (keyring first) and then you should be able to use the current mirrors.
