Package: php5-geoip
Version: 1.0.7-2
Severity: grave
Tags: d-i
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
I installed php5-geoip on my squeeze server and tried to use it. The following
error has been written into my error log:
[error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] PHP Warning: geoip_region_by_name(): Required
database not available at /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIPRegion.dat. in
/var/www/mypath/script.php.
The file doesn't exist on any of my systems and I couldn't find a dpkg which
contained the file.
This is my first bug report, I hope I it isn't that bad.

There is a number of other functions for this library. So, why
"renders package unusable"?

Anyway, please look on the Maxmind site:

There is no free region database, AFAIK. Please, buy databases you
need and install them in place (some free stuff goes to the
geoip-database package).
Thus, I'll close bug.
