[BUG] Error downloading database

[Cheezzhead]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Name of mod

The MaxMind database is not being downloaded, instead giving a tar: short read log message (see below).

This has already been reported (along with a solution) in the last reply of #833, but since that ticket is already closed (and its problem description was somewhat confusing), I figured I'd make a new one here.

The curl command in /etc/periodic/weekly/libmaxminddb is the culprit as it is not following redirects. Adding the -L flag will solve the issue.

// Leads to an empty file
curl https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id=GeoLite2-City&license_key=${KEY}&suffix=tar.gz" -o "./GeoLite2-City.mmdb.tar.gz" 

// Outputs the correct file
curl -L https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download?edition_id=GeoLite2-City&license_key=${KEY}&suffix=tar.gz" -o "./GeoLite2-City.mmdb.tar.gz"
