We have recently upgraded to 8.1.3 when I assume the thirdparty jar files changed from 1.10 to 1.19.

I think there is some config that is pointing to the old 1.10.jar file

I have looked in indexes.conf for the vix configuration which references the path  changed it to the new version of commons-compress-1.19.jar (see below) and deployed it to the SHC, however it does not seem to make any difference.
