The current status quo is that using the previous package is illegal: https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite/eula Destructions of GeoLite Database and GeoLite Data. From time to time, MaxMind will release an updated version of the GeoLite Databases, and you agree to promptly use the updated version of the GeoLite Databases. You shall cease use of and destroy (i) any old versions of the Services within thirty (30) days following the release of the updated GeoLite Databases; and (ii) all Services immediately upon termination of the license under this Agreement. Upon request, you shall provide MaxMind with written confirmation of such destruction. I've discussed with Patrick Matthäi, and the plan for forky is to remove this package. For (old)stable the options are obsolete, empty or illegal - and obsolete is IMHO the least bad option here. cu Adrian
