using any :Z commands (:Tz, :Lz) with a search breaks but :Z - or just :Z or :Zi works fine

what I mean by the title:
when I run :Z I get taken to home directory just fine
when I run :Z - I get taken to previous directory just fine
when I run :Zi (or Lzi or similar) I get taken to fzf'd directory just fine

however, if I run :Z {query} , nothing happens and i get the error:

error: Found argument '--exclude' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context

USAGE:
    zoxide query [FLAGS] [keybwords]...

For more information try --help

this also happens with :Lz or similar.

system info:
using Packer

$ zoxide --version
zoxide v0.4.3-unknown

:version
NVIM v0.7.2
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta13

on debian 12

Your version of zoxide seems very old, is there a way you could update to the latest version? It looks like the --exclude flag was added after v0.4.3

Well, I had just gotten it from the official debian testing repos, but they are in a freeze period right now so I can get back to you in a few months and hope that it is updated in that time. If possible I would rather not want to download from another package manager for the time being.
