Comment (by commoc):
I don't have AppArmor.
Using an out-of-the-box TorBrowser 5.0.7, I don't need to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to start Tor directly, as seen below:
user@debian:~/tor-browser_en-US-5.0.7/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor$ ./tor

It also works after performing my steps.
But with an out-of-the-box TorBrowser 5.5, I need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
before starting Tor directly (as seen in my comment:3).
Since the Tor versions remained the same, I think the issue is caused by
some change between Libevent 2.0.21 and 2.0.22. With this last version,
apparently LD_LIBRARY_PATH is needed, and that's why Tor won't start with
setgid.
I'm not sure whether the Tor developers can do something about this.
