[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Bug#838817: somehow missed your answer

[shirish शिरीष]

Dear  u <u at 451f.org>,

For some reason your answer didn't reach my mailbox and hence couldn't
react. part of it might be also the reason that I was more concerned
about torbrowser not being able to launch, although hadn't seen
#851236 or/and #855522 . There are and were plenty of upstream
bug-reports/tickets in which I had shared my experience. It's only now
that I have been able to use/launch torbrowser-launcher in one of the
other boxes but without a profile and handcrafting the profile from
zero.

As shared by you, I could do a purge and a reinstall but that would be
lot of work, It would destroy my profile and extensions and lot of
handholded policicies and tweaks that I had done to torbrowser to suit
my browsing experience while also having  the advantage of anonymity
while browsing/using proxies but would take lot of time to make it
work.

I haven't tried to launch torbrowser-launcher from this box but
adequate still tells it has an obsolete-conffile while upgrading.

I have also CCed debian-QA so they might also see and tell if its a
false positive. I can't find the documentation atm but do remember
Jakub (the DM as well as upstream maintainder/developer) sharing a
web-page somewhere telling what needs to be if an obsolete-conffile is
found and how to rid off it. It talked of doing some changes in
debian/rules telling to remove the concerned file when upgrading to a
new version if present in the system.

Obsolte-conffiles AFAIK usually happen only  in the upgrade scenario
and might not occur in a fresh install.

I am sorry I do not have more details to help you with except with -

> adequate torbrowser-launcher                                                                                                     [96%]
torbrowser-launcher: obsolete-conffile
/etc/apparmor.d/torbrowser.start-tor-brows

Look forward to your response and also reply if I'm able to fly/use
torbtowser from this node/lappy.

Till later.
