After replying, I realized that I should have mentioned something that
might not be obvious: If no mirror is found for a particular file,
MirrorBrain just sends the file itself. So the result isn't an error
condition... which might be counterintuitive at first, and not what you
may have expected. This behaviour allows for movements in the file tree
without and to serve freshly arrived content before it's on the mirrors
(enough bandwidth provided).

Hm, for some reason, the old mod_geoip is still installed (now looking
on your machine):

$ dpkg --list libapache2-mod-geoip
[...]
    libapache2-mod-geoip                         1.1.8-2ubuntu2

But apt-get offers the new package. I'd guess that after "apt-get
update; apt-get upgrade" mod_geoip should be really up to date.
