geoipupdate not working

[tetlika]

hi,

we're trying to use GeoIP.x86_64, version 1.4.8-1.5.amzn1 it comes as a standard rpm package with latest Amazon Linux AMI (https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-ami/)

config file looks like that:

UserId 999999 LicenseKey 000000000000 ProductIds GeoLite2-City

when trying to do geoipupdate we receive next error (see full command output):

geoipupdate -v

what is wrong, and how it can be fixed?

You are using a 1.x version of geoipupdate, which does not support GeoIP2/GeoLite2. Please upgrade to a 2.x version.
