New description:

 When I do "ooniprobe -i /usr/share/ooni/decks/fast_no_root.deck" on
 ooniprobe 1.3.1-2 (from the stretch deb), among the complaints I get are a
 big pile of
 {{{
 Unhandled error in Deferred:
 Unhandled Error
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 Failure: txtorcon.torcontrolprotocol.TorProtocolError: 551 GeoIP data not
 loaded
 }}}

 I do indeed have the geoip-database deb installed (version 20150317-1).

 At one point in the middle, it gives a bit more detail:
 {{{
 Found your IP via Tor 66.180.181.228
 [!] Could not find GeoIP data file in /usr/share/GeoIP.Try running
 ooniresources --update-geoip or edit your ooniprobe.conf
 [!] Could not find GeoIP data file in /usr/share/GeoIP.Try running
 ooniresources --update-geoip or edit your ooniprobe.conf
 }}}

 A) There's a missing newline in this log line.

 B) ls -la /usr/share/GeoIP shows
 {{{
 -rw-r--r--   1 root root 1061883 Mar 17  2015 GeoIP.dat
 -rw-r--r--   1 root root 3949299 Mar 17  2015 GeoIPv6.dat
 }}}

 So, what's missing?
