[tor-talk] obfsproxy failure: obfs3

[lee colleton]

My intent is to set up an obfsproxy bridge in the manner of the EC2 images
available from cloud.torproject.org which will stay up to date thanks to
unattended upgrades. I've enabled wheezy-backports and upgraded thus:

lee at tor-bootstrap:~$ dpkg -l tor obfsproxy
