Re: [Fink-users] missing config file in privoxy

[Jean-maurice Le Clech]

Fink purge privoxy failed with this output:
...
Suppression de privoxy ...
rm: /sw/var/log/privoxy/*.gz: No such file or directory
dpkg : erreur de traitement de privoxy (--purge) :
 le sous-processus pre-removal script a retourn� une erreur de sortie 
d'�tat 1
Des erreurs ont �t� rencontr�es pendant l'ex�cution :

### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't purge package privoxy

and sudo dpkg --purge privoxy failed too :
...

What else can I do ?

Hello,
I installed few times ago privoxy and it was all-right, I removed it. 
Now I'm trying (several times) to reinstall it but the config file in 
/sw/etc/privoxy/config is always missing. Have you any idea about 
this strange behavior?
Config files are handled specially by dpkg and fink, they try to avoid 
overwriting such files. Sometimes this leads to buggy behavior. Here 
fink (or dpkg) seems to think that this config file is still 
installed, while in reality it isn't. Try "fink purge privoxy" and 
then "fink reinstall privoxy". If this still doesn't work, try "sudo 
dpkg --purge privoxy" before reinstalling.
