xt_geoip search in the wrong directory?

Does a symlink help?

Seems the same as https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1095676-start-0.html
Try copying or moving the files from /usr/share/xt_geoip/BE and /usr/share/xt_geoip/LE into /usr/share/xt_geoip/

Hello Manfred,

thanks for the hint to the gentoo forum. According this thread I could fix my problem.

Problems:
1) MaxMind.com change the access to the GeoIP database. => The current download script doesn't work!
2) The data format of xt_geoip have changed in the current package. => downloads of legacy Geoip database from MaxMind doesn't work
3) MaxMind.com change the dataformat for the downloadable files (GeoIP2). => current build script doesn't work!

Solutions:
1) Register you for free at MaxMind.com, or chose another geoip database (see xt_geoip project).
2) I use this build script https://sourceforge.net/p/xtables-addons/xtables-addons/ci/5e19871613e21050f44e11327adf867b002cbaf8/tree/geoip/xt_geoip_build to make the xt_geoip files from the current MaxMind CSV data format
3) see 2). Tthe actual build script from the xt_geoip, doesn't work with the current MaxMind GeoIP2 CSV download. The xt_geoip project change the default geoip database.

Now I use this update script to update the geoip information:
#/bin/sh

cd $(dirname $0) || exit 1;
LIB_DIR=/usr/lib/xtables_addons;
BASE_DIR=$(pwd);
DEST_DIR=/usr/share/xt_geoip;
DL_DIR=$BASE_DIR/dl

mkdir -p $DL_DIR >/dev/null 2>&1
cd $DL_DIR || exit 1;

# Get data
wget -q -O 'GeoIPCountryCSV.zip' 'https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id=GeoLite2-Country-CSV&license_key=[license_key]&suffix=zip' || exit 1

if [ -f GeoIPCountryCSV.zip ]; then
  unzip -qo GeoIPCountryCSV.zip || exit 1;
  rm -f GeoIPCountryCSV.zip
fi

Thanks!
Best regards
Maik
