As of January 2019 MaxMind stopped providing old format CSV file for their GeoLite2 IP database. More info at their page.

Unfortunately this left everyone relying on xtables-addons-common to make geographyically conditioned iptables rules without an update source. Even the most unstable Debian is affected by this problem.

This is the current result of running xt_geoip_dl:
