[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Bug#981817: onioncircuits: Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/psutil-5.7.2.dist-info'

[Jonathan Marquardt]

Package: onioncircuits
Version: 0.5-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I have multiple systems running the Debian Tor package with an open control 
port. I always used this in combination with onioncircuits without any 
problems until I upgraded to Debian Buster. Since the upgrade (or even fresh 
installation of Buster) I'm unable to start onioncircuits:

This even happens as root.

Is this a known issue?

Cheers,
