Thanks

Hello,

I don't think this bug is important because,
- First webalizer can run without GeoIP enabled (use "GeoIP no" option
in the config file) so it should not be a depends but a recommends at
best
- Second libgeoip1 already recommends geoip-database

I don't think all the package using libgeoip1 are adding geoip-database
to their dependencies... But I could add a recommends in next version.

Best Regards
