[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Bug#812981: torbrowser-launcher: torbrowser cannot start possibly due to apparmor issue

[Giorgos Pallas]

Package: torbrowser-launcher
Version: 0.1.9-1+deb8u2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
I just installed from the repo the package torbrowser-launcher and tried to
launch the browser.

I get a window saying:
 Tor unexpectedly exited. This might be due to a bug...
mplah mplah
Restarting Tor will not close your browser tabs.

I click on 'Restart Tor' and another window opens titled 'Tor Network
settings' which says again Tor unexpectedly exited. This might be due to a
bug...

I tried again and again and nothing changes.

At the same time I get these on syslog:

I don't know if those have to do something with the problem.

Thanks,
Giorgos
