Okay, that's good, since it's an easier way to reproduce the issue :-) In https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2005/11/msg00067.html I found a similar problem description. So let's try the following: Please open /var/lib/dpkg/info/privoxy.postinst with an editor and add the command dh_stop after the line rm -f $CONFIG.ucftmp: --- privoxy.postinst.org 2016-08-27 22:28:32.000000000 +0200 +++ privoxy.postinst 2016-09-04 15:59:42.189145833 +0200 @@ -60,6 +60,7 @@ ucf --three-way --debconf-ok $CONFIG.ucftmp $CONFIG ucfr privoxy $CONFIG rm -f $CONFIG.ucftmp + db_stop if [ "x$2" != "x" ] && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "3.0.4" then And let me know, whether this helps. If it doesn't help, try to move the db_stop in 3 lines up above the command ucf --three-way --debconf-ok $CONFIG.ucftmp $CONFIG Greetings Roland
