Done. Thanks for the insight, Stuart.

I’m aware of that, but thank you for clarification nonetheless.

Thank you for the heads up! That was quite a revelation to me that this
particular package gets shipped with three binaries for different
purposes—should’ve taken advantage of pkg_info’s -L option, my bad.

I’ve just upgraded to 7.3-beta and updated the snowflake_proxy package
to version 2.5.1; here’s the updated contents of my torrc file:

  $ grep '^[A-Z]' /etc/tor/torrc
  Log notice syslog
  RunAsDaemon 1
  DataDirectory /var/tor
  User _tor
  UseBridges 1
  ClientTransportPlugin snowflake exec /usr/local/bin/snowflake_client
  Bridge snowflake 192.0.2.3:1

Tor keeps spewing logs of the same kind, however. Nothing has changed. I
have no idea as to what else can be done to make Tor start building
circuits.

I would’ve posted on Tor mailing lists if I had experienced the same
issues on my GNU/Linux machine as well as on my Android device, but
things appear to be working there just fine. Can you or anybody else
reading this message give me some insight into ways of finding the root
of the problem? I’m at a loss here. Many thanks in advance.
