Bug Description
Hi,
The nbdkit gzip filter is broken on the platforms I tried: Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal), Ubuntu 20.10 (Groovy) and Debian 10 (Buster). The xz filter works fine though. To reproduce, run: `sudo nbdkit --filter=gzip myfile.gz`. It produces the following output:
> nbdkit: error: cannot open filter 'gzip': /usr/lib/
The gzip and xz plugins are present, but in the gzip case the file named "nbdkit-

Hopefully this bug can be fixed on all platforms, because this is a very promising program.
Hmm, actually it looks like whilst there is a 'xz' plugin AND filter, in the current version of nbdkit there is *intended* to only be a 'gzip' plugin.
The gzip filter was only added in a very recent release in July 2020: https://<email address hidden> /msg20519. html
I guess this bug report can be closed then.
