https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/55095

Description:
MLS has officially retired since June 12th 2024, so location services, by default, don't work with the `geoclue2` package on Void.

**Context**
In the [upstream issue](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/issues/192), it was decided that the BeaconDB geolocation URL would be added as an example in the main `/etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf` config file as a comment, that is, in this [merge request](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/merge_requests/198/diffs). That was 3 months ago, so the change is still in `master` as the last stable release (2.7.2) was released 7 months ago. So I'd thought them switch downstream before the next stable release is packaged, so users can get their location services working in Void without any manual modifications to the config file.

You can follow the instruction on the [BeaconDB homepage](https://beacondb.net/) to set it as the default geolocation database.
