now that flatpak 0.8 has been considered a stable base
https://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2016/12/22/a-stable-base-for-flatpak-0-8/ I
think the sandboxed tor browser should allow flatpak-bwrap to satisfy the
dependency of bubblewrap again (I am aware this was already present and
was removed
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-browser/sandboxed-tor-
browser.git/commit/?id=1bdce61925564ca0c688377c196268ce97b5402b )
As there is a ppa for Ubuntu 16.06 LTS users by the flatpak main dev:
https://launchpad.net/~alexlarsson/+archive/ubuntu/flatpak?field.series_filter=xenial
This solves the problem of Ubuntu users not being able to use the
sandboxed tor browser without compiling bubblewrap from source or
installing the package for ubuntu 17.04 (which is less than ideal, because
either the user is breaking their systems by adding repositories they
shouldn't, or they are installing bubblewrap by hand and will probably
miss out on newer versions).
