Hi,

when running torbrowser-launcher I just saw this:

Running task: download_tarball
Downloading https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/3.6.3/tor-browser-
linux64-3.6.3_en-US.tar.xz
Updating over Tor
Finished receiving body: Response body fully received
Running task: verify
Verifying signature
gpg: Signature made Thu Jul 24 10:45:33 2014 CEST using RSA key ID 0E3A92E4
gpg: Good signature from "Mike Perry (Regular use key) 
<mikeperry at torproject.org>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: C963 C21D 6356 4E2B 10BB  335B 2984 6B3C 6836 86CC
     Subkey fingerprint: D734 B622 C7B5 D164 D665  0CB8 717F 1F13 0E3A 92E4
Running task: extract
Extracting tor-browser-linux64-3.6.3_en-US.tar.xz
Running task: run
Running /home/foo/.torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_en-US/start-tor-browser

So it _seems_ there gpg cannot verify the download!

If that's really the case, it's horrible. If it's just a wrong warning, it 
still should be fixed as we dont want to train users to ignore security 
warnings :-/


cheers,
	Holger
