    Hello, I operate a tor middle node since several years on a VM in a datacenter. The VM is running Debian Jessie 8.2. Up to now I never had a problem. After Upgrade to the lates 0.2.7.5.-1 package the tor service does not start anymore. See below the syslog information. There is no info in the tor server log

    Reinstalling the old version 0.2.5.12-1 fixed the Problem. On another metal maschine I do not experience this problem running several exits.

    Might have something to do with the KVM based virtualization. But this is just an guess. Let me know if you need more information
