As of version 1.2.2, Arti supports Vanguards, a defense against guard discovery attacks targeting hidden services and hidden service clients

https://blog.torproject.org/announcing-vanguards-for-arti/

Should Whonix switch to Arti and Vanguards in full mode for more anonymity and security for users and hidden service owners? Vanguards is currently disabled in Whonix and is not supported in the current version of Tor

71

This is planned to be done when technically possible / considered feasible by developers / the required Whonix source code changes being available.

Technical details here: Keep an eye on Arti (Tor)

Waiting for packages in deb.torproject.org to become available.

Just an error message. Not critical. Would be best to avoid, though.
