As the comment suggests, if you continued packing, the new file
would be as large as the old one, because no records would be
removed.  This is likely either because a) you've already packed to
that pack time before, or b) None of the objects written up to the pack time
have been written after the pack time and this there are no old records
to be removed.

Or, you could leave off pack-keep-old=false setting.
