This seams to be when upgrading Whonix 13 to 14. I’ll have to restore a whonix 13 image from backup and upgrade to 14. See if I can reproduce.

That folder /var/lib/tor/.tor has no place there. Wondering how it was
created. (If someone can figure out how users can possibly create that
folder, let me know.)

@vimuz could you try this please and see if that fixes it for you:
