After more digging, I found the problem. A previous script replaces
/usr/bin/wget with torsocks, but does not have that in place for curl.

I'll follow up with tails on how to handle this. If you would consider
adding the curl fallback or switching to curl, I'd appreciate it, but
understand if you don't want to fix what's not broken (in Debian).
