Post by basd82 »

I runned a apt-get upgrade after my reinstallation of my bubba2 that didn't want to start any more.
but when running the upgrade i get the following errors regarding tor:

Code: Select all

Did you install the 2.4-RC1 B2 installer and then ran an upgrade against elvin? This will most likely not work, I'll have to ask you to await the stable 2.4 installer (soon here).
