 I got this issue yesterday for both Debian and Ubuntu. I tried
 uninstalling and reinstalling Tor and torbrowser-launcher, but no luck.
 Here's the Terminal outputs:

 **The OS where I reinstalled Tor:**

 $ tor

 "/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.)
