Well..

./start-tor-browser -v
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/sdauth/tor/Browser/libxul.so:
libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

Found these tickets :

tor browser relies on external glib/dbus installation
Switch from dbus-glib to GDBus

Looks like there has been some activity lately.. maybe it will be fixed someday. I could maybe (haven't checked) compile it from tor-overlay but this implies to compile rust, nodejs as well. What a nightmare.
