[Santiago R.R.]

Package: torbrowser-launcher
Version: 0.3.6-2
Severity: important

Hi!

When trying to launch torbrowser, I am getting this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    os.rename(abs_filename, self.paths["tbb"]["dir_tbb"])
OSError: [Errno 39] Directory not empty: '/home/santiago/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_es-AR' -> '/home/santiago/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser'

I get a similar error with torbrowser-launcher --settings

The workaround is to remove .local/share/torbrowser/

I may suppose this is just me, and it works for others.

Cheers,
