Thanks! (and apologies to Tim to have missed the opportunuity to check Tim original popularity-contest.gpg report). I have received it just one (via http) on Sun May 20 08:02:01 UTC 2018 (however popcon cron.daily has a mechanism to prevent multiple submissions in the same week). > I have attached the .gpg file.

The only drawback I see is that tor has a number of dependencies that will always appear as 'recently used' in popcon report. However if tor is used regularly anyway this is not an issue. I will apply the patch for popularity-contest 1.67 Cheers, -- Bill. <[email protected]> Imagine a large red swirl here.
