Though this is not the problem causing the failure:
This filesize looks too large for it to be the current country database
GeoIP.dat (~600KB) and too small to be the current city database
GeoLiteCity.dat (~17MB). Please check if this database is correct.

This codepath reporting this error does a stat() call inside the GeoIP
library to check if the corresponding file exists. The named process
would need permission to access this directory. Check the permissions on
/usr/share/GeoIP/, etc.
