The Debian BTS has a related report [1] which suggests to me this issue should have been fixed way back in v1.11. But even if installing wasn't broken, with the legacy databases discontinued, it's not much use in the long term.
Geoip-database-contrib has already been removed from Debian entirely [2] due to deprecation by upstream, apparently in favor of geoipupdate [3]. (I'm not affiliated with either package and have no solutions; I'm just documenting the connections here.) * [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666063 * [2] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900400 * [3] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=885441 ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #666063 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666063 ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #900400 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900400 ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #885441 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=885441 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1811029 Title: Package installation fails when attempting to download GeoIP database files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geoip-database-contrib/+bug/1811029/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
