Comment (by davidsarah):

 Elrond on {{{#tahoe-lafs}}} said that they had a problem starting nodes
 with the Debian-packaged version of Tahoe-LAFS v1.8.2, due to the
 {{{pkg_resources.require('twisted')}}} in the .tac file. Apparently
 twisted was installed in a way that wasn't recognized by pkg_resources
 (possibly due to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=631163).
 Commenting out the {{{pkg_resources.require}}} worked.

 The output of {{{tahoe --version-and-path}}} was
