Thanks.

The first issue you have relates to the necessary 'privoxy' user and
group creation. Am I correct in understanding that this computer has
never had Privoxy installed previously? Could you open Terminal and
execute these two commands (which are executed during installation to
ascertain whether the privoxy user and group exist) and reply with the
output:

/usr/bin/dscl /Local/Default -list /groups | /usr/bin/grep -E
'^(_)?privoxy?'
/usr/bin/dscl /Local/Default -list /users | /usr/bin/grep -E
'^(_)?privoxy?'

If neither command has any outpu, please execute these instead:

/usr/bin/dscl /Local/Default -list /groups
/usr/bin/dscl /Local/Default -list /users


Thanks,

Ian
