Comment (by yawning):

 Replying to [comment:13 mcs]:
 > One small data point: on an up-to-date Ubuntu stable (16.10) system, I
 saw this error message:
 >  Failed to launch Tor Browser: sandbox: bubblewrap appears to be older
 than 0.1.3;, you MUST upgrade.

 Yeah.  That's intentional.  Ubuntu has 0.1.2 (unpatched) which has a
 rather large security issue.  I filed a bug on launchpad that's currently
 being ignored, but past that I am opting for caution rather than
 compatibility on this one, especially since I can't easily disambiguate
 the unpatched vs patched versions of 0.1.2.

 Sorry. :(

 I've tested this on, or have had victims test on:

  * Arch Linux (amd64)
  * Debian stable (amd64/x86)
  * Fedora 24/25 (amd64)
  * OpenSuse Tumbleweed (amd64)

 All of those have up to date packages available (and in the case of Fedora
 25, it's preinstalled, giving the best out of the box experience).
