 I get to tor-browser project, I get a failure with apktool 2.4 (the one

 Could you share the changes you used to test this? From the logs it looks
 like you are using apktool 2.4.0, but buster is supposed to only have
 2.3.4, so I'm wondering if you used a mix of packages from buster and sid
 or testing, which might be the cause of the error.
