Hi,

I guess this shouldn't really happen...

while purging privoxy:

+++
Removing privoxy ...
Stopping filtering proxy server: privoxy.
Purging configuration files for privoxy ...
Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at /usr/sbin/deluser line
228.
WARNING: You are just about to delete the root account (uid 0)
Usually this is never required as it may render the whole system
unusable
Press immediately Ctrl+C if you want to abort
Ok, you really want it, I'll delete that account
+++

I can't really reproduce this, so you may want to close the bug if you
don't find the reason.  Also, I also describe my system as an unholy mix
encompassing packages from sarge to sid.  Few non-Debian sources,
though.

Still, you may find the reason...

Sequence I did: installed tor/unstable, which caused privoxy to be
installed as a dep (I assume it was the version from etch due to my apt
preferences, bu I'm not 100% sure, sorry.), then modified privoxy's
config to use tor, tested it a bit, and then just aptitude purge'd tor
and all dependencies that were autoinstalled before.

Obviously, this might also be a deluser bug.  No idea.

cheers
