Package: privoxy
Version: 3.0.12-2
Severity: important
Iceweasel/torbutton/privoxy/tor used to work for me. Now I found out
connections were no longer anonymized. The line
forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .
was commented in /etc/privoxy/config. Uncommenting this line
reactivated tor functionality.
I don't know how the line became commented, maybe during an upgrade. If
tor fails silently (torbutton indicating 'Tor Enabled') this may be very
dangerous for some people.

I guess it was my fault then. I reported this because it would have been
a serious problem if it was indeed a bug. Also now that the problem is
published it may help others to resolve it.
