Hi there,

src:bro seems to Build-Depend on libgeoip-dev, but no GeoIP supports
seems to built into the resulting binary. Upstream's NEWS for 2.6
mentions:
> - GeoIP Legacy Database support has been replaced with GeoIP2 MaxMind DB
>   format support.
> 
>   - This updates the "lookup_location" and "lookup_asn" BIFs to use
>     libmaxminddb.  The motivation for this is that MaxMind is discontinuing
>     GeoLite Legacy databases: no updates after April 1, 2018, no downloads
>     after January 2, 2019.  It's also noted that all GeoIP Legacy databases
>     may be discontinued as they are superseded by GeoIP2.

Modifying Build-Depends to remove "libgeoip-dev" and add
"libmaxminddb-dev" should fix this in the Debian packages.

Thanks,
Faidon
