Thanks for the report! The root cause seems to be
golang-github-cenkalti-backoff switching to v5 of the package. It looks
like v4 is now being provided by golang-github-cenkalti-backoff-v4-dev
instead.

Curiously, the golang-github-cenkalti-backoff 5.0.3-2 changelog entry
mentions this:

This does not seem to be the case for geoipupdate, though. Perhaps it
was missed because it's in contrib, and only main was checked? Cc'ing
Simon who did that upload, in case it informs future migrations of his.

In any case, upstream geoiupdate has already switched to v5, and I've
been waiting for it to show up in Debian in order to upload 7.1.1. So
this is actually great to see and an easy enough fix :)

Faidon
