Hi,
The old bug #29485 is about the hard coded database of the package
perl-geo-ip.

I am reproducing this with the Guix commit f4450e8.

It is a problem and the package is broken. I am assuming this package
is not used so I am proposing to simply remove it. Otherwise, the
database should be also packaged, else it appears to me meaningless.
All the best,
