Package: goaccess
Version: 1:1.4-1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

As described on the upstream bug report
(https://github.com/allinurl/goaccess/issues/1918) version 1.4 will exit
with an error message stating the GeoIP database is unreadable:

GoAccess - version 1.4 - Jul 23 2020 10:55:20
Config file: /etc/goaccess/goaccess.conf

Fatal error has occurred
Error occurred at: src/geoip2.c - init_geoip - 89
Unable to open GeoIP2 database: /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIPCity.dat

Despite the 1.2 version, and the programs in geoip-bin are more than
happy to use the same file.

This happens with both the Debian maintaned version, and the .deb
package built by the author of GoAccess himself, hence I think it is
safe to assume, it's an upstream issue. (This also sort of suggests it's
not becuase the offical package is meant to be used on bullseye, while I
was testing it on buster; however that cannot be completely ruled out,
as it has not been specifically tried)

This also makes it pointless to backport the package to buster,
replacing the rather dated 1.2 that comes with it out of the box.
