Package: geoipupdate Version: 4.0.6-2 Severity: minor With upstream no longer permitting download of the databases without signing up for an account, this package is no longer usable out of the box, and doesn't contain pointers to what needs to be done to make it work.
Suggest including in at least the README, if not a NEWS item, a link to MaxMind's instructions on how to get a (free) account to use with this tool so that the databases can be downloaded: https://blog.maxmind.com/2019/12/18/significant-changes-to-accessing-and-using-geolite2-databases/ Also, since the /etc/GeoIP.conf file will now generally include an account ID and token, it probably should no longer be auto-included in bug reports, unless those values can be automatically scrubbed out. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable'), (490, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.3.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages geoipupdate depends on: ii libc6 2.29-7 geoipupdate recommends no packages.
