Description Patrick Silva 2018-07-13 17:32:53 UTC

Every time I open ktorrent nightly installed via flatpak/kdeapps repo
I get the message "machine geolite.mamind.com: host not found unknown"
with "repeat" and "cancel" buttons.
It occurs on both neon dev unstable and Arch Linux.

This bug persists on Arch linux.

Comment 3 Bart C 2019-05-24 17:58:24 UTC

Confirmed on Arch (fully up to date) with ktorrent 5.1.1 (KF 5.57.0).

ktorrent uses an obsoleted MaxMind GeoLite API and apparently the link does not work anymore.

GeoLite is discontinued: https://support.maxmind.com/geolite-legacy-discontinuation-notice/
GeoLite2 is to be used: https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/

The APIs are not compatible with each other requiring changes to the way ktorrent uses the data and how it shows the flags. As the compressed GeoLite database file format also has changed (from .gz to .tar.gz), also the decompression routine needs an update (a quick look shows that KCompressionDevice does not handle these tarballs directly)

Isn't this basically the same as bug#403054?

This should fix it:
