### Steps to reproduce
1. Configure versions_retention_obligation to .e.g. `"ve…rsions_retention_obligation": "14, auto",` as described here https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/master/config/config.sample.php#L603.
```
* * ``D, auto``
* keep versions at least for D days, apply expire rules to all versions
* that are older than D days
```
2. Create file, e.g. todo.txt
3. Update this file few times
4. See that older version are deleted, but they must be kept for a configured (here 14) amount of days.
### Expected behaviour
Older files versions must be handled as it is configured in config.php and as it is described in a Doku.
### Actual behaviour
Older files versions has being deleted independent of settings in config.php:
