Public bug reported: I'm working on Ubuntu 18.04 x86_64 (fully patched). I installed Tor using Apt. When I attempt to launch Tor I am in an endless loop of download/verify/verify-failed.
The process at the moment is (1) Try to start Tor. (2) Tor downloads something. (3) Signature verification begins. (4) Signature verification fails. (5) Click "Start" to do it again. Clicking "Start" from the "signature verify failed" screen takes me back to the download. Ad infinitum. I have to go to a Windows machine to use Tor. I'd like to get the issue fixed on Ubuntu since it is my main workstation. This issue has been going on since about June 2018. I'm guessing someone does not realize something is broken. At this point I am willing to accept the bad signature so I can use the Tor browser. I'm ready for the 6 month DoS to end.
