[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Bug#970768: torbrowser-launcher: error while checking version number after TorBrowser 10.0 release

[Lev Lamberov]

Package: torbrowser-launcher
Version: 0.3.2-13
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

because of faulty version number check, torbrowser-launcher cannot
correctly handle TorBrowser 10.0 release. Now it shows the following
error message:

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

Seems that because of this error it is not possible to install the new
release of TorBrowser, and installation of it is run everytime when
running torbrowser-launcher. So, torbrowser-launcher simply doesn't do
what it should (install and run TorBrowser), which make it unusable.

There is an upstream issued already reported, see #498 [#498], and
merge request submitted.

Cheers!
Lev
