[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Bug#910827: Doing update on torbrowser-launcher 0.2.9-6 resulted in not finding profile

[shirish शिरीष]

Package: torbrowser-launcher
Version: 0.2.9-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I was using torbrowser-launcher and updated it to torbrowser 8.0.2 .
When the torbrowser restarted it gave me a message stating it could
not find my profile.

While I was able to workaround the issue by using -

~/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser
--verbose

and in a way forcing/seeing that it got correctly updated. After this
I was able to launch using torbrowser-launcher normally as I always do
via

$ $ torbrowser-launcher

I have no clue why I had to use the workaround, please fix so it
doesn't happen again. Many users wouldn't even know what to do.
