[tor-talk] Fedora repo Tor broken?

[BM-2cTjsegDfZQNGQWUQjSwro6jrWLC9B3MN3 at bitmessage.ch]

Tor recently removed their Fedora repos, which leaves the fedora native
repo. However, it's not working for me, and never has. Any help would be
appreciated, since I depend heavily on the system tor, and the Tor project
repos are gone!

What I'm doing:

sudo dnf install tor (from fedora)

sudo service tor start (or systemctl start tor.service)

produces:

Job for tor.service failed because the control process exited with error
code. See "systemctl status tor.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
