#  astraceroute --dev eth0 --host debian.org
Cannot open GeoIP6 city database, try --update!
# astraceroute --update
Cannot open or create file /usr/share/netsniff-ng/country4.dat.gz! No
such file or directory.
# mkdir /usr/share/netsniff-ng
# astraceroute --update
Cannot get /GeoIP.dat.gz from mirrors!

(Further investigation reveals it's trying to resolve some
"cryptoism.org" domain, which doesn't exist.)

This is despite the fact that I have geoip-database,
geoip-database-extra and geoipupdate packages installed.
