Thanks for that, but I do believe that we have those packages installed. We are running on Ubuntu 18.04 if that makes a difference.

Here is some output from apt:

 apt list | grep geoip-database

geoip-database/bionic,now 20180315-1 all [installed]

geoip-database-contrib/bionic 1.19 all

geoip-database-extra/bionic,now 20180315-1 all [installed,automatic]

Hi Tomasz,

You will need an operating system package and a Perl library (which can probably be installed as an OS package) for that to work.  On Ubuntu 20.04 that is:

apt install geoip-database libgeo-ip-perl

On Enterprise Linux (RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, Rocky Linux, Alma Linux, etc.) it is:

yum install GeoIP perl-Geo-IP

I do not think you will be able to get back missing country of origin data without regenerating your stats from scratch but this should start being added in future.

I’m trying to figure out why the “origin of downloads” country data has stopped working for our repository.

I see much of the old (pre-2022) data is still there, but starting in 2022, “origin of downloads” (the map visualization) contains no data.

Any idea as to what could be causing that or where to look for the issue?

It’s not just the visualization of the map, because that still works for “all” and earlier date ranges.

It looks like the country data is not there starting in 2022?
