Tails 3.15 apt config references tor-0.4.0.x-experimental packages, which are no longer available
Originally created by @kogorman on #16883 (Redmine)
Tails 3.15 apt sources lists include a reference to tor-0.4.0-experimental components, which are no longer available on the Tor Project repos. This breaks `sudo apt-get update`, and automatic installation of packages from the Persistent volume.
Steps to Reproduce
Start Tails 3.15 with an admin password.
In a terminal, run sudo apt-get update
Expected Behavior
sudo apt-get update completes without error.
Actual Behavior
sudo apt-get update fails with error:
Fetched 30.1 MB in 5min 13s (96.0 kB/s)
Reading package lists… Done
W: The repository ‘tor+http://sdscoq7snqtznauu.onion/torproject.org
tor-experimental-0.4.0.x-stretch Release’ does not have a Release
file.
N: Data from such a repository can’t be authenticated and is therefore
potentially dangerous to use.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user
configuration details.
E: Failed to fetch
tor+http://sdscoq7snqtznauu.onion/torproject.org/dists/tor-experimental-0.4.0.x-stretch/main/binary-amd64/Packages
404 Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.
