On my system the update of the GeoLityCity database failed with the following message:

If you look closely at the error message you can see the it complains about protocol " http". After some research I found that there is really a space character in the URL before “http”. To fix the problem I edited the script GeoIPAutoUpdater.php and added a call to trim in line 138:
$url = trim(self::removeDateFromUrl($url));
now it works again.
