 bug_20302 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-browser-
 bundle.git/commit/?h=bug_20302&id=8d47b8e5bd03239b3c4d4918102369ba2615f7b0)
 in my public tor-browser-bundle repo has a fix for this for review:

 kpdyer: It would be neat if you could look over the patch to `setup.py`
 and merge it upstream if you think this is okay. In this case we'd just
 bump the `libfte` tag.

 It seems that FTE is not working, though. It gets stuck at "Establishing
 an encrypted directory connection". That's probably a separate issue. Any
 ideas on how to debug this one?
