Comment (by commoc):

 It says "0 log messages".

 To reproduce it without involving Tor Browser, I executed the tor
 executable directly. In an out-of-the-box installation, it starts
 normally, like this:

 user at debian:~/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor$
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/user/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/"
 user at debian:~/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor$ export
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 user at debian:~/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor$ ./tor
 Feb 12 10:08:57.324 [notice] Tor v0.2.7.6 (git-7a489a6389110120) running
 on Linux with Libevent 2.0.22-stable, OpenSSL 1.0.1q and Zlib 1.2.8.

 "/home/ubuntu/install/etc/tor/torrc" not present, using reasonable
 defaults.

 Feb 12 10:08:57.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 0%: Starting
 Feb 12 10:08:58.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 5%: Connecting to directory
 server

 After performing my steps, I get this:

 user at debian:~/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor$ ./tor
 ./tor: symbol lookup error: ./tor: undefined symbol:
 evutil_secure_rng_set_urandom_device_file

 I use the latest stable (8.3) release of Debian.
