geoip-database[-extra] vs geoip-database-contrib

Question

While installing geoip I get the dependency conflict. I can install either geoip-database and geoip-database-extra packages, or geoip-database-contrib. I couldn't notice any difference between them, both works fine as you see here

So, is there any difference between them? Which one is preferable?

geoip-database-contrib is a superset of the data from geoip-database and geoip-database-extra.

In geoip-database-contrib you have both the data from geoip-database and from geoip-database-extra. The data are the same, there are no differences. There are no better sets, you simply choose the quantity of data that you want.
