New description:
When I try to run tor with EntryNodes x (where x is a single Exit relay),
it hangs at:
{{{
Aug 26 00:51:57.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 45%: Asking for relay
descriptors
Aug 26 00:51:57.000 [notice] I learned some more directory information,
but not enough to build a circuit: We need more microdescriptors: we have
0/6973, and can only build 0% of likely paths. (We have 0% of guards bw,
0% of midpoint bw, and 0% of exit bw = 0% of path bw.)
Aug 26 00:51:58.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 50%: Loading relay descriptors
}}}
~~This issue might prevent us from switching to one guard in future
releases.~~
This issue likely makes Exits useless as fallback directories for
IPv6-only microdescriptor clients (#19608).
I can reproduce this issue on 0.2.9.2-alpha-dev, 0.2.8.{6,7}, maint-0.2.7,
maint-0.2.6 using the following command:
{{{
src/or/tor DataDirectory /tmp/tor.$$ SOCKSPort 0 EntryNodes x
}}}

Comment:
I chose an exit. It fails for me with any exit.
I've updated the description and the title.
