The repository is also accessible via Tor, after installing the apt-transport-tor package, at the address zcaptnv5ljsxpnjt.onion
However, if I visit this website in Tor browser, then I am met with an error message:
The provided onionsite address is invalid. Please check that you entered it correctly.
Details: 0xF6 — The provided .onion address is invalid. This error is returned due to one of the following reasons: the address checksum doesn't match, the ed25519 public key is invalid, or the encoding is invalid.
Upon closer inspection I see that the given onion address is a Tor v2 address. According to the Tor project website:
V2 onion addresses are fundamentally insecure. If you have a v2 onion, we recommend you migrate now. This is a backward incompatible change: v2 onion services will not be reachable after September 2021.
A workaround for those running lightwalletd in front of zec is to simply forward a v3 onion service to the lightwalletd port. That works fine for the moment for my use case.
Split from #6742 by @metalworker2 :
I found these issues in the docs when I was following the instructions for installing on Debian/Ubuntu officially supported platform:

Out of date onion address version
However, if I visit this website in Tor browser, then I am met with an error message:
Upon closer inspection I see that the given onion address is a Tor v2 address. According to the Tor project website:
https://support.torproject.org/onionservices/v2-deprecation/
So this documentation is almost 2 years out of date! See related #6075
