** Description changed: [Impact] The torbrowser-launcher package in Ubuntu 20.04 does not work *at all* on new installations (see bug #1856895), because of a Tor Browser Developers public key change (old key is not valid anymore) that causes Tor Browser archive downloaded by torbrowser-launcher when being launched for a first time to fail verification. The included debdiff contains patch with a new key from latest package version (that is in Debian Testing and Ubuntu Groovy) and makes the torbrowser-launcher work again. [Test Case] 1. Use a clean, fully updated Ubuntu 20.04 system where torbrowser-launcher was not previously installed/configured. 2. Install the "torbrowser-launcher" package. 3. Run "Tor Browser" from a desktop menu (or "torbrowser-launcher" from terminal). 4. Wait for the Tor Browser archive to finish downloading, verifying and unpacking. [Regression Potential] - None. This debdiff adds just the one patch mentioned above. + There should be none. This debdiff adds just the one patch mentioned above. As mentioned, the developer key is used only when torbrowser-launcher is launched for a first time - to verify Tor Browser archive that is downloaded and unpacked (into user's home) by torbrowser-launcher. torbrowser updates are then handled by torbrowser itself, not by torbrowser-launcher. Subsequent Tor Browser updates are handled by Tor Browser itself, not by torbrowser-launcher and work fine even if the developer key shipped with torbrowser-launcher is incorrect.
