The publicsuffix package is deprecated and has not been maintained for years. It finally reached a breaking point during this past weekend's BOD 18-01 scanning run where the server hosting the maintained public suffix list no longer returned the charset header that publicsuffix expects. The publicsuffixlist package is the currently maintained one of the two alternatives mentioned by publicsuffix and it has a compatibility layer for existing code that uses publicsuffix.
