Package: tor
Version: 0.2.5.12-1
Severity: minor

Hello

Every time tor starts, it is complaining in /var/log/tor/log :

Jan 30 08:27:24.000 [warn] Couldn't rename configuration file "/etc/tor/torrc"
to "/etc/tor/torrc.orig.1": Permission denied

I don't quite know why tor wants to tune its own configuration. But there is
something wrong going on:

Permission of /etc/tor/torrc probably should be changed to allow user
debian-tor to change it. Maybe a chown of /etc/tor/ ?

It is possible this is a functionality disabled by design in Debian, as a
security precaution. Please, in that case, document this in README.Debian.

Thank you for taking care of tor. <3
