I follow the instructions on this website for installing on ubuntu, even though I use antix, which is another debian clone. Tried to install with apt install tor and that failed by not finding the package. then I added the two lines to tor.list and get:
Get:7 https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org buster InRelease [3,527 B]
Err:7 https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org buster InRelease

I cannot reproduce or test your issue, but in the error it says to run this command first: sudo apt install tor deb.torproject.org-keyring. It looks like this will set up your system to accept the keys used to sign the software you’re trying to install. So try running that, and then see if it works after that.
Edit: sorry, I think that is the command you were trying to run that didn’t work, I didn’t realize that at first
yes, I ran that and the first error came after running
sudo apt update
also: i am not sure if it tries to install as per the setup in the tor.list or it uses the default setup for tor. is there a way to force it to use tor.list?
today it worked by using the default method. maybe the repo was offline yesterday. also notice howw it goes to bulls eye and not buster even though lsb_release says buster.
