  However this is not really a problem unless you are on GuixSD.
  As we do not package the DB of MaxDB (yet) you'll need for this, it's
  not a problem. I'm filing this bug to remind myself to fix Geo::IP once
  I have revisited the discussion we had about the DB a while back.

  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.

  Removal sounds good to me.

If the package is working for someone, we will know. :-)

All the best,
