you are absolutely right. I have tried to make a fake .gz file but missed completely the removing of the pid file. Privoxy is running again.
Is my timezone correct now ?

I think you found a bug in the privoxy package description. It shouldn't use an unqualified rm command to remove files that may be absent, it should use rm -f. I am CCing the maintainer.
There is another bug in the prermscript that prevents removing privoxy: It tries to kill a process that is probably not running.
What you can do to work around these bugs is the following:
sudo touch /sw/var/log/privoxy/foo.gz sudo rm /sw/var/run/privoxy.pid sudo dpkg --purge privoxy
Then you can "fink reinstall" it. Next time you want to remove it, you'll have to jump through the same hoop.
