And is used as a dependency in libperfsonar-perl, meaning the package doesn't install. We need to assess if geoip-database is enough for our usage or if we should move to geoipupdate or some other ways of getting the IP geo information like from https://mailfud.org/geoip-legacy/

On the RPM side we use GeoIP-data which also mention that it's data might be out of date and recommends using the geoipupdate scripts to fetch new ones. Should we move our installation to use that instead?

Maxmind changed its GeoIP format and the supporting software a few years ago, so what's in older distros is basically out of date. We may have to package something more-current.

In 9272d23 I removed the dependency to geoip-database-extra. We'll need to assess the functionality loss this generates.

Using geoipupdate seems a no-go because it needs a licence key.
