Alternatively, download the deb and use as root "dpkg --force-depends-version -i xxxxx.deb".

In case you don't know - be careful in upgrading other packages that may appear as upgradeable in Fapman using the all packages option. The way Maemo works makes wholesale upgrading potentially risky i.e. apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade may get you into trouble, AFAIK.

HANDAXE REPLY:

Yes, but so would the FAPMan route as long as you update tor and not anything else UNLESS you know what you are doing. But tor via FapMan is safe.
Folks, the FAPMan route is the easiest. Tor has a new dependency in a package "adduser". If you want to use the dpkg route to upgrade tor, then first install "adduser" and then do the dpkg bit. Otherwise, tor will not install fully due to the missing "adduser" dependency. In that case, you will need to issue "apt-get -f install" to pick up the missing package from the repo.
