Comment (by adrelanos):

 I emptied my torrc for testing purposes, restarted tor, still getting
 this. (Didn't happen with earlier Tor versions.) Still trying to figure
 what makes the difference on my system.

 {{{
 Aug 03 21:56:34.000 [warn] Permissions on directory /var/run/tor are too
 permissive.
 Aug 03 21:56:34.000 [warn] Before Tor can create a control socket in
 "/var/run/tor/control", the directory "/var/run/tor" needs to exist, and
 to be accessible only by the user and group account that is running Tor.
 (On some Unix systems, anybody who can list a socket can connect to it, so
 Tor is being careful.)
 }}}

 -----

 In {{{tor.postinst}}} you are using {{{chmod 02750 /var/run/tor}}} but for
 systemd you are using {{{02755}}}. Is that supposed to be like that?
