Pacman static will likely help, but you'll need to actually install it and
use it, i.e.:

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 ?

many thanks to Eli Schwartz and his repository
and all who offered suggestions
the server is now upgraded.
