Package: torbrowser-launcher Version: 0.2.8-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
This is more of an upstream issue rather than Debian's but still reporting so that others are aware and maybe it can be documented in News.Debian.gz See https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-news-debian for what I mean. I had been using torbrowser 6.5.1 for a long time and each time trying to update/upgrade it failed. Now because the browser detaches itself from the console I do not know/have any other way to document why the update fails but just know it fails. The only way (sadly) is to remove your tbb profile from ~/.local/share/tbb and then try running torbrowser-launcher. It downloads the latest version and now it also updates to point versions as I experienced on couple of other debian boxes where I had done the change earlier. It would be nice if this pain point is mentioned in a NEWS.gz file so people can know about it and take proper action. FWIW I tried both 0.2.8-2 and 0.2.8-3 with .local/share/tbb old profile in the hopes that the profile will also get upgraded which sadly didn't happen and was forced to have a new blank profile which I would build over days and weeks etc. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (100, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.12.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IN.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_IN.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IN.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_IN.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages torbrowser-launcher depends on: ii ca-certificates 20170717 ii gnupg 2.2.1-1 ii python 2.7.13-2 ii python-gtk2 2.24.0-5.1 ii python-lzma 0.5.3-3 ii python-parsley 1.2-1 ii python-psutil 5.0.1-1+b1 ii python-twisted 17.9.0~rc1-1 ii python-txsocksx 1.15.0.2-1 Versions of packages torbrowser-launcher recommends: ii tor 0.3.1.7-1 Versions of packages torbrowser-launcher suggests: pn apparmor <none> ii python-pygame 1.9.1release+dfsg-10+b2 -- no debconf information -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
