The torbrowser-launcher package does not depend on gnupg/gnupg2 on Ubuntu 20.04. This results in torbrowser-launcher not working on some Ubuntu flavors that do not have gnupg installed by-default. Also, torbrowser-launcher calls /usr/bin/gpg2 instead of /usr/bin/gpg. The /usr/bin/gpg2 is just a symlink to /usr/bin/gpg on Debian/Ubuntu, provided by gnupg2 package that is not installed by-default on some Ubuntu-based systems (including Linux Mint), even if they have gnupg installed out-of-box.

The following patch and debian/control update fix the issue:
https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-privacy-team/torbrowser-launcher/-/commit/f83349ae954a888a7913ac64c98dbb53a284932f
https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-privacy-team/torbrowser-launcher/-/commit/68908ebd6567fad56642c57d2fb1f75dad6efe4a

The first link contain a patch that replaces /usr/bin/gpg2 with /usr/bin/gpg in torbrowser-launcher code.
The second link contain a change adding gnupg as torbrowser-launcher dependency to debian/control.
