Description
The doc about GeoIP states:
[...] These datasets may be
downloaded from MaxMind. Grab theGeoIP.dat.gzandGeoLiteCity.dat.gz
and unzip them in a directory [...]
On the GeoMind server there isn't any file called GeoIP.dat.gz. The file is now called GeoIPv6.dat.gz

In your formulation, I'm not sure it's clear enough that one file is in GeoLiteCountry dir and not the other.
What about simply writing the path like that: GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz ? No need for another patch, I'll fix it myself if you agree.

I think that Django does not support IPv6 data yet (see #18349). The IPv4 file is now located in the GeoLiteCountry directory.
