If you use Debian Lenny and do "make deb" in OpenSIPS sources, it will
require "libgeoip-dev" *DEB* package, and the libgeoip-dev package
available in Debian Lenny is 1.4.4, not less. It's impossible to have
installed an older version of libgeoip-dev in Debian Lenny (if you
have it, then you have not Debian Lenny).

Then this user is not using Debian Lenny and shouldn't do "make
deb-lenny" or "make deb".

I agree on the fact that it's just better to add the version
requeriment also for Debian Lenny.
