Public bug reported:

There are multiple things wrong with getting torbrowser to work.
First of all, the shipped torbrowser-launcher gives a 404 at installation :

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/torbrowser-
launcher/+bug/2000077

It also looks like some gpg keys may have been updated.

There is a tor repo that has the latest tor :
https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/setup/install/

I propose to either pull that in, or fix the current package.

A workaround for the current version 0.3.3 is
 sudo sed -i 's|self.language =.*|self.language = "ALL"|g' 
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/torbrowser_launcher/common.py

This updates the links properly. As user @AsciiWolf mentions, check if
this patch needs to be in place :

https://github.com/torproject/torbrowser-
launcher/commit/7472ff6b374eaed7382ae6016b516b84954c18e3

I saw Debian has 0.3.6 , perhaps an update is coming soon. The current
package has no value I would say, hoping this will be fixed soon. Thank
you
