Description Michael Tremer 2019-01-07 23:54:29 UTC 
Maxmind no longer supports the "legacy" format of their database. We need to move to the "new" format as soon as possible.

This is currently breaking user's installations.
Comment 1 Bernhard Bitsch 2019-01-08 22:50:50 UTC 
To use the new format we must switch to xtables-addons-3.2. This version uses the new format.
Caveat: changelog reads
"v3.2 (2018-09-07)

- rework xt_geoip_build to scan the immediate directory for .csv,
  not to scan for GeoLite2-Country-CSV_\d+.
