Package: torbrowser-launcher
Version: 0.1.5-2
Severity: important

Hi,

With the release of Tor Browser Bundle 4.0, the directory structure
for TBB has changed.  One of the consequences of this is that Tor
Browser Launcher does not properly detect if 4.0 has been installed.
This causes TBL to re-download TBB 4.0 on each launch attempt, even if
4.0 is already present. TBL still launches TBB 4.0 after completing
the upgrade procedure, and TBB is useable for the duration of the
session.

Upstream has already patched this with their new release, 0.l.6:
https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher/commit/ba5300518281473aa66dea0f0faade1673eb2df1

Thanks for your attention. Please let me know if this kind of report
is unhelpful or inappropriate.

Sincerely,
Serge Tsaytak
