    The mod_geoip Apache module that ships with Debian and Ubuntu is too old

    you've got it already installed.
 
 mod_geoip is configured to look for the GeoIP data set in
-:file:`/var/lib/GeoIP`. You need to download the GeoIP data set. We chose the
-larger "city" dataset::
-
-  wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz
-  gunzip GeoIP.dat.gz
-  sudo mkdir /var/lib/GeoIP
-  sudo cp GeoIP.dat /var/lib/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat
+:file:`/usr/share/GeoIP`. A dataset may be installed already, but it is
+recommended to update it. In fact, that should be done regularly. There is
+handy tool that does this, and also downloads the larger "City" dataset::
+
+  # l /usr/share/GeoIP

+  # geoip-lite-update
+   * Reloading web server config apache2
+     ...done.
+  # l /usr/share/GeoIP

+Now, one (or more) of the files ending in ``.updated`` can be used with Apache.
