Well this is kind of strange to ask as I got a message while installing Tor: anonymity browser on my Ubuntu 16.04.

Setting up tor (0.2.9.8-2~xenial+1) ...
Something or somebody made /var/lib/tor disappear.
Creating one for you again.
Something or somebody made /var/log/tor disappear.
Creating one for you again.

can anyone kindly explain me what is this "Something or somebody" guy?

I found this link sarcastically (or actually) stating that its a magician...

Have you had Tor on your system earlier? – Mostafa Ahangarha Jan 21 '17 at 20:45
    
Yeah I had but was always reluctant to ask this question ! – Questioner Jan 21 '17 at 21:54
    
I guess those folders were there because of the earlier installation. I don't think you need to be worried – Mostafa Ahangarha Jan 21 '17 at 22:37

It's just a funny way of saying this and that folders aren't there yet and need to be created.

Thanks, that's a strange way to say something is being created ! – Questioner Jan 21 '17 at 20:21
    
How is this not a comment? – heynnema Jan 22 '17 at 0:18
    
@heynnema Normally I would agree but since the question is can anyone kindly explain me what is this "Something or somebody" guy? then this is the only answer. Had the question been different the answer would have to be expanded accordingly. – user589808 Jan 22 '17 at 0:21
