Sorry, but I strongly disagree here. This is *not* a Linux Mint only issue. This issue happens on all custom (for example installed by netinst with custom package set) Ubuntu systems. Basically on any system where gnupg (along with the gnupg2 dummy package) is not preinstalled. There are actually two problems here:

1. The torbrowser-launcher package does not depend on gnupg although gnupg is used by torbrowser-launcher. This is *wrong*! Since gnupg is being used by torbrowser-launcher, it *should* be in the torbrowser-launcher package dependencies.
2. The torbrowser-launcher uses /usr/bin/gpg2, however this is just a symlink provided by a gnupg2 package that is a "dummy transitional package".

Not fixing this issue is a really bad decision, at least in my opinion. Please, if you do not want to add the patch to replace /usr/bin/gpg2 with /usr/bin/gpg, at least consider adding "gnupg2" as a torbrowser-launcher dependency (instead of gnupg).
