> Is any info available from the #tor user?
Unfortunately, not. Given that
1) Users affected by this did really not download and use an alpha.
2) TorL Launcher is not able to update itself
users must have got a "wrong" update. Now, how could that have happened in
detail? First, they have been on the stable series. An update to the alpha
series would have been a full update. But then they were on the alpha
channel and the question would be how were they getting the stable tor
(again)? Which is causing the problem in combination with unix domain
socket support. I guess they could have got a full update back to the
stable channel with a stable tor but Tor Launcher would not have been
updated as it would have been a downgrade which gets prevented? Otherwise
it is hard to see why they are stuck with the alpha Tor Launcher it seems.
It that makes any sense then we would have given wrong updates out twice
at least. :/
Anyway, I guess this is now even harder to debug given that with the
advent of tor-0.2.9.x in the stable series the issue in this ticket is
gone.
