[gregor herrmann (gregoa)]

Interesting detail:

1.41-1 in Debian, taken from
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/libgeo-ip-perl/1.41-1/#libgeo-ip-perl_1.41-1
, is not empty; except for the sh4 architecture.

The buildlog at
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/140144908/buildlog_ubuntu-saucy-i386.libgeo-ip-perl_1.41-1_UPLOADING.txt.gz
shows problems with the geoip database. Surprisingly, the build continues ...

Cheers,
gregor

Still valid on lubuntu 13.10 ...
when checking http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/libgeo-ip-perl, it seems raring and trusty is good, saucy not

why there is no revision update for saucy ???

No easy dowgrade:
only one choice from 'apt-cache showpkg libgeo-ip-perl'
it's asking for a 'perl -MCPAN -e 'install Geo::IP' ...

The following patch allows to build the package for saucy (not really nice but works):
