format of .lz4 files in /var/lib/apt/lists
there are a bunch of files in /var/lib/apt/lists. several, including the 4 largest files, have the .lz4 extension. i have tried to uncompress these files but everything i try with the xz, lzma, and unlzma commands tells me that the format is not recognized. i am assuming they are in some raw format which requires knowing the custom filter chains that were used. does anyone know how to uncompress these files? i think they may be the ones that list all the files in all repository packages. if so, those are the ones i need to have my script read.
