Package: privoxy
Version: 3.0.34-3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
What led up to the situation?
The final arg for `privoxy` is the path (relative or absolute) of the
configuration file. Specifying anything other than files under
/etc/privoxy fails with "Fatal error: can't open configuration file"
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
`privoxy --no-daemon config` fails
`cp config /tmp; privoxy --no-daemon /tmp/config` fails
The above with `sudo` likewise fails.
`cat config | privoxy --no-daemon /proc/self/fd/0` works
`privoxy --no-daemon /etc/ld.so.conf` gives (obviously) a
"Ignoring unrecognized directive" warning and fails at binding to the
default port, because the system copy is running, but no EACCES error.
`sudo cp config /etc/privoxy/jc.conf; privoxy --no-daemon
/etc/privoxy/jc.conf` works
* What was the outcome of this action?
As above. My best workaround so far is using /proc/self/fd/0
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I'd expect it to work with a file protected 644 in the current
working directory.
