Hi Daniel, >Right, so how does netsniff-ng then not depend on geoip-database if you need to have the database to run it? Yep, so I tried to say that with my headline: The bug is that 'netsniff-ng does not depend on package "geoip-database"'. > Last time, I had a look at geoip-database, it's s simple shell script that downloads these databases through wget, nothing more. "geoip-database" is a "data-only"-package ( /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat ), the package you might think of is "geoip-database-contrib". > So you might want to file a bug against the geoip-database package for inclusion of GeoLite City Good suggestion! Done with Bug#703915. > The latest version ... has an internal downloader where you can also define > mirrors for failover. At first I thought that's a good idea for the long run, then I realized they might put "geoip-database-contrib" into "contrib" because it requires data outside "debian main". 'http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html' says: "None of the packages in the main archive area require software outside of that area to function." I'm not a "debian-policy-specialist" so I don't know if this sentence is not only for "software" but for "pure data" also.
