I was able to replicate this when I didn't have a system dns server set. It is failing because it can't resolve the URL

Can you check in configuration mode that you have something set when running

show system name-server

If you do not have something here, from configuration mode run:

set system name-server 8.8.8.8

Then try again

update geoip

@sarthurdev - Can you replicate the issue if you "delete system name-server" and try to run "update geoip" with no nameserver defined?
