Do not use the packages in Ubuntu’s universe. In the past they have not been reliably updated. That means you could be missing stability and security fixes. Instead, please use Tor Debian repository.

i followed the instructions but it didnt do anything

  1. Run dpkg --print-architecture
  2. Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list, copy the text below and replace <ARCHITECTURE> with your system architecture:
   deb     [arch=<ARCHITECTURE> signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org focal main
   deb-src [arch=<ARCHITECTURE> signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org focal main
  1. Download the keyring
# wget -qO- https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89.asc | gpg --dearmor | tee /usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null
  1. Update and install tor
   # apt update
   # apt install tor deb.torproject.org-keyring
