** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  Because of poor version string checking, the torbrowser-launcher package 
fails to recognize Tor Browser 10 and later as a valid version that is 'newer' 
than the previous versions.  As such, the torbrowser-launcher package fails to 
update Tor Browser.
  
  [Test Case]
  (1) Install torbrowser-launcher
  (2) Attempt to update
  (3) Tor Browser version check will fail, and the tor browser version won't 
update.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  Thomas Ward reviewed the python changes relevant to this and they are 
superior to the previous version checking system.  To that end, the fix for 
this issue should be non-breaking with very little risk of a regression.
  
+ [racb] Version comparison code (of Tor upstream) is being changed, so we
+ might have missed some other area where a version comparison is
+ required.
+ 
  [Original Bug Description]
  
  torbrowser-launcher does not work anymore since yesterday Tor Browser
  10.0 release. There is already a simple fix available as a PR in the
  upstream GitHub repository: https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-
  launcher/pull/499
  
  I will fix this in Focal as part of the #1896085 SRU, however it will
  also need to be fixed in Groovy.
