on-topic:

Just now reported the issue against The Tor Project.

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/18294

Not a Whonix specific issue. Rather a general issue specific when using
Debian in combination with deb.torproject.org.

off-topic:

wrong...

sudo service tor status

--> right

sudo service tor at default status
