Package: tor
Version: 0.2.2.32-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Since updating some packages (including tor)
I can't start tor anymore.
the output of dpkg --configure tor is:
Setting up tor (0.2.2.32-1) ...
Raising maximum number of filedescriptors (ulimit -n) to 32768.
Starting tor daemon: tor...
Aug 30 20:50:16.090 [notice] Tor v0.2.2.32 (git-84a279ff87e5bfea). This is
experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity. (Running on
Linux i686)
Aug 30 20:50:16.126 [notice] Initialized libevent version 1.4.14b-stable using
method epoll. Good.
Aug 30 20:50:16.126 [notice] Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050
Aug 30 20:50:16.128 [warn] /var/run/tor is not owned by this group (users, 100)
but by group debian-tor (120). Are you running Tor as the wrong user?
Aug 30 20:50:16.128 [warn] Before Tor can create a control socket in
"/var/run/tor/control", the directory "/var/run/tor" needs to exist, and to be
accessible only by the user and group account that is running Tor. (On some
Unix systems, anybody who can list a socket can conect to it, so Tor is being
careful.)

I also had problems with my sudoers file and my /etc/group, I think I fixed
those but I'll attach them (if you think they might be related)
