I'm not fully sure, whether I understand, what exactly triggered the
issue on your system. If I read the apt/term.logs right, this first
happened to 3.0.24-2 and repeated with 3.0.25-1 and 3.0.25-2.
Maybe you can track down, what the problem was? Maybe a configuration
option, that you kept from an old version, but which failed with the
new one? But this shouldn't be solved by "apt-get -f install".
Since I personally never run into this issue, I need more input to
reproduce this problem.
Maybe you could try to run
sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/privoxy.postinst configure
after the upgrade failed.
Maybe this can show us, where the postinst fails.
