I've just installed a fresh Alpine system on a C1 machine from Scaleway. This is a ARMv7 processor (which might be part of the problem).
On it I've upgraded to edge (3.7.0) then I proceeded to install 'tor' with `apk add tor`. This installs Tor version 0.3.1.9-r0.
After twiddling with the configuration a bit i added it to OpenRC with `rc-update add tor`. Starting it via `rc-service tor start` hung the prompt. No logs where being written anywhere.
I looked in the init file and figured that the script must be stuck at verifying the configuration. So I endeavoured to manually do the verification. But to my great surprise my prompt hangs there too. Even worse; running `tor -h` hangs the prompt too. I have no idea what is going on. How can I troubleshoot this?

EDIT: I've gotten my hands on a Alpine VM. Also runs edge and installing and running Tor seem to work fine...
