Comment:
This is a data problem. There is no street named 'Gegužių g.' in the area.
Nominatim needs a street with the exactly same name as the name you used
in the addr:street tag.
Side node: please don't abbreviate street names (speaking of the 'g.' in
'Gegužių g.' here). It is much easier for a machine to abbreviate a
complete name than guess what an abbreviation means.
