Package: libgeoip1
Version: 1.6.12-8
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Our Internet provider assigned us address 185.202.110.161. The following
minimal C++ program reports:
'185.202.110.161 not found in GeopIP database':
int main()
{
char const *ip = "185.202.110.161";
GeoIP *gi = GeoIP_open("/usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat",
GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE);
if (!gi)
return 1;
char const *country = GeoIP_country_code_by_addr(gi, ip);
if (!country)
cout << ip << " not found in GeopIP database\n";
}
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Since libgeoip1 lists www.maxmind.com] as its 'External Resource', I entered
the above address at https://www.maxmind.com/en/home
* What was the outcome of this action?
The page https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-precision-demo was opened and
showed the correct country and ISP.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Since www.maxmind.com correctly reported details like the address's country
and ISP, I had expected that libgeoip1 would also produce the correct
country. I tried several other (existing) addresses using the above program,
and it correctly produced the countries of those addresses

Our Internet provider assigned us address 185.202.110.161. The following
minimal C++ program reports:
'185.202.110.161 not found in GeopIP database':
This is just because the address is not listed in the database. This is
not a bug for Debian.
Versions of packages libgeoip1 recommends:
ii geoip-database 20191224-3
With 20181108-1 it is NL, with 20191224 it is N/A. If you want more
accurate results you have to use the maxmind.com geoip.dat database and
update it on your own.
