Is supposed the /usr/sbin/geoipupdate.sh should install the file /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat, but it doesn't. localhost ~ # ls /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat ls: cannot access to /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat: No such file or directory localhost ~ # /usr/sbin/geoipupdate.sh Updating GeoIP databases... localhost ~ # ls /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat ls: cannot access to /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat: No such file or directory
It needs to be run the first time with "-f" option.

Maybe we could change the script so that if no database files are present, a full/forced update is done automatically.
The current behaviour seems to me to be completely broken. Suppose you run it with the -f option, on successive calls what's the difference between the normal one and the forced one? Either remove any checking and options and just do a full update, or implement checking for newer versions on server and do only partial updates on successive calls.
