payload.bin is not stored uncompressed

Hello!
Firmware: LineageOS 21
I encountered this error. Initially blamed on the system (Manjaro), on it, your software does not run at all and gives an error that there is no such “package” (if you add ./ the situation was repeated), but not about that.
On Windows gave generally other errors, now on Ubuntu managed to achieve this:

I don't know if this information is necessary, but if you use this function
--magisk app-release.apk --magisk-preinit-device sda11
the error is the same.
I also have another question.
I also tried to patch A13, but I got an error in the spirit of failed to find payload.bin.
As far as I remember in the documentation mentions an old version of the program, do I understand correctly that it is worth using it for android versions 13 and below?
I hope you can help me.
The compression level is set separately for each file inside a zip. For an OTA, the payload.bin inside the zip must be stored uncompressed or else it's not flashable (nor readable by avbroot).
Can you link to lineage-device.zip? Has it been modified by any other tool? (Even extracting and recompressing the zip will break it.)

Do you still have the error when running on Manjaro? avbroot should work on every Linux system.

Sorry for the long reply. I downloaded the “original” image from the Lineage website for my device.
Now I am getting these errors:

Do you still have the error when running on Manjaro? avbroot should work on every Linux system.
Manjaro gives an error like this:
avbroot: command not found
Naturally, the following was executed before the execution: chmod +x avbroot
The problem also persists if you use ./
What have I done..
Sorry)

You'll need to add this https://github.com/chenxiaolong/avbroot/?tab=readme-ov-file#clearing-vbmeta-flags and then you should be good to go.
Manjaro gives an error like this:
avbroot: command not found
Naturally, the following was executed before the execution: chmod +x avbroot
Ah, if you use ./avbroot like what you're doing now, then it should work fine on Manjaro too.
