Update Manager error (control.tar.zst)

Although updates of Visual Studio Code have always been successful in the past with Update Manager, I have now the following error and Update Manager restarts endlessly:

dpkg-deb: erreur: l'archive « /var/cache/apt/archives/code_1.94.0-1727878498_amd64.deb » utilise un procédé de compression inconnu pour le membre « control.tar.zst ». Abandon.

It appears to be a known problem (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/230418). It happens since vscode 1.94 with Debian < 12 based distros... and I'm using Q4OS 4 (Debian 11 based).

How can I prevent Update Manager looking for updates of VScode? Would it be as simple as

$ sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.list

Yes, it should. Assure with running in terminal afterwards:
$ sudo apt update
