#33442 added support for using the DB-IP Lite databases.
According to [
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/33442#comment:6 this
comment] this support has regressed.
Various changes were made in Django 5.1 to modernise
`django.contrib.gis.geoip2` and improve testing, but the support for DB-IP
Lite databases was missed as there were no tests for it, likely due to the
prior issues around shipping test databases that was resolved as part of
those changes.
