I know there are lots of questions, some well-answered, about 404 errors on torbrowser-launcher. They didn't seem to hit the spot.
I have 2 linux Ubuntu computers each running 22.04 LTS. I successfully installed Tor on the desktop one. The laptop fails when running torbrowser-launcher with a download error 404.

Downloading Tor Browser for the first time.
Downloading https://aus1.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_3/release/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/x/en-US
Latest version: 12.0.3
Downloading https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/12.0.3/tor-browser-linux64-12.0.3_en-US.tar.xz.asc
Download Error: 404
^C
I have tried removing and re-installing.
Something curious I noticed after the Downloading Tor Browser the first time. It tries to download this file:
https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/12.0.3/tor-browser-linux64-12.0.3_en-US.tar.xz.asc
But at this website: https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/12.0.3/ that file name does not exist. So, it really is a 404 file not found error.
The closest file it has is tor-browser-linux64-12.0.3_ALL.tar.xz.asc
(Replaces _en-US with ALL!)
Thank you for any help
