Public bug reported:
After doing a fresh install of Ubuntu Desktop 16.04.2, I used Ubuntu
Software Center to install Tor Browser (Tor Browser Launcher). I then
click on the Tor icon to start the initial download of the Tor Browser
Bundle. The download completes, but the subsequent signature
verification fails with a message "SIGNATURE VERIFICATION FAILED". The
message also suggests that I might be under attack (very unlikely) or
that there might be a networking problem. I am using a stable network,
have not had network problems with other applications, and repeating the
download, even after redoing the Ubuntu installation, does not change
any behavior.
Additional information, which I can copy here if it is helpful, is listed at:
