Does your version of tar (which is being called under the hood) support the
zstd format?
I think support for it was added in tar-1.31 - maybe openSUSE has on older
version.
$ tar --help | grep zstd
--zstd filter the archive through zstd
In case you can't or don't want to upgrade to a more recent version for
whatever reason, you might
try fiddling with tar's --use-compress-program option, e.g. by writing a
wrapper which adds
--use-compress-program=zstd to the list of args tar is being called with if the
tarball's name ends
in .tar.zst (and making sure the wrapper is being found before the regular tar
program...)

What archive support packages are required to be installed in an rpm distro for
mc
to navigate (ubuntu 22.04) .debs as it can with .rpms? My Google-fu isn't doing
very well with this. As it stands, trying to navigate with mc produces:
...deb' uses unknown compression for member 'control.tar.zst', giving up
