Subject: [ISSUE] libgeoip: remove dependency on geoip-data

New issue by user318 on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/16216

Description:
Hello,

Currently libgeoip depends on geoip-data. But as I understand, data is not strictly required for the lib - you can get your own data anywhere. So now, for example, when I try to install nginx on a small system, I get this:

```
geoip-data install   -                 20171002_2             25MB 
libgeoip   install   -                 1.6.12_1               56KB 
nginx      install   -                 1.16.1_1               347KB 
```
As you can see geoip-data takes up a huge part of packages install even if I do not need it. I think it is a bad practice and geoip-data should be removed from the dependencies of libgeoip.
