Hello,

did anyone else run into a problem when upgrading from 0.2.9.10 to 
0.3.0.7 on Ubuntu?

Tor is no longer starting, with these messages in syslog:

[notice] Read configuration file 
"/usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc".
[notice] Read configuration file "/etc/tor/torrc".
[warn] Directory /var/lib/tor/SERVICE_NAME/ cannot be read: Permission 
denied
[warn] Checking service directory /var/lib/tor/SERVICE_NAME/ failed.
[warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Failed to configure rendezvous 
options. See logs for details.
[err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.

The permissions on /var/lib/tor/SERVICE_NAME/ are "rwx--S---" and it's 
owned by debian-tor, which worked for 0.2.9.10.

Thanks,
Alexander
