[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Bug#916605: torbrowser-launcher: I can't start torbrowser-launcher

[Aidan Gauland]

Package: torbrowser-launcher
Version: 0.3.2-13~bpo10+1
Followup-For: Bug #916605

Dear Maintainer,

I get similar behaviour even after deleting the following directories:
  ~/.local/share/torbrowser/
  ~/.config/torbrowser/
  ~/.cache/torbrowser/

The launcher opens the download progress modal, then while the same
modal shows "Installing", another modal comes up saying:

"The version of Tor Browser you have installed is earlier than it should
be, which could be a sign of an attack!"

with only an OK button.  When I dismiss that, the "Installing" modal
stays up
indefinitely.  If I dismiss that and rerun torbrowser-launcher, I get
this on
stdout
