Description Florian Klink 2013-04-03 17:41:14 UTC

when querying an ip with geoip tools, i only get country results even though I enabled the "city" use flag.

I straced the geoiplookup tool, it doesn't open the ebuild-provided databases /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoLiteCity(v6)+.dat, but instead looks for /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIPCity(v6)+.dat.

So the ebuild should better install the files to this location (or make a symlink to it) if the use flag "city" is enabled.

Reproducible: Always

Should be fixed in both versions. Please reinstall, and thank you for reporting!
