Actually not - you are right Alexander! But then the question are:

• why do I need a user "_tor-tor" since the last update, when I didn’t need that before
• why is it not self creating
• what do I have to do - really creating "_tor-tor" with the same privileges as "_tor-tor2"?

My guess is you manually created an /etc/tor/instances/tor next to your tor2. That's not the default instance that's failing here.

From your logs, you don't appear to have a default service. Do you not have a /etc/tor/torrc?
