SUMMARY

KArchive fails to extract 7z archives that use the BCJ2 filter.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a test archive with BCJ2:
   `7z a archive.7z /usr/bin/ls -m0=BCJ2 -m1=LZMA2 -m2=LZMA2 -m3=LZMA2`
2. Attempt to extract using KArchive:
   `archive.directory()->copyTo()`
3. Extraction fails with an assertion error:
./build/karchivetest archive.7z
ASSERT: "n == currentChunkSize" in /home/azhar/Projects/KArchive/src/karchive.cpp, line 871
[1] 10321 IOT instruction (core dumped) ./build/karchivetest archive.7z`

OBSERVED RESULT
Extraction fails with assertion error.

EXPECTED RESULT
Archive should extract successfully.

Comment 1 Azhar Momin 2025-09-06 17:22:03 UTC 
Another problem I observed: when creating a 7z archive with the BCJ2 filter using small text content (instead of a binary), extraction does not crash but produces an incomplete file with extra garbage data prepended, this may or may not be the same problem:
