Description
mariabackup --decompress breaks due to qpress not found
expected
qpress is either prerequeted to be installed in MariaDB Backup user guide
or it's included in the MariaDB-Backup package
how to repeat:
1. perform mariabackup with option --compress
2. issue the mariabackup --decompress step – it's fails – qpress not found
1.
mariabackup --backup --compress --compress-threads=2 --compress-chunk-size=512K --target-dir /var/mariadb/backupcr2

"This option requires that you have the qpress utility installed on your system."
Feel free to change the wording to stress the importance of qpress even more than it currently is.
