Updating privoxy deletes all customization — at Version 2

Reported by: lagrave+bugs+macosforge.org@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.8.2
Keywords: Cc:
Port: privoxy

Description (last modified by jmroot (Joshua Root))

I just updated all installed ports, including privoxy, using this command:

% port -c upgrade installed

Running this generated the following output:

--->  Verifying checksum(s) for privoxy
--->  Extracting privoxy
--->  Configuring privoxy
--->  Building privoxy
--->  Staging privoxy into destroot
--->  Creating launchd control script

# by default. Execute the following command to start it,
# and to cause it to launch at startup:
#
# sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.Privoxy.plist

Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: error copying "/opt/local/etc/privoxy/config.new": no such file or directory

After the update was finished I tried to run the launchctl command described above but privoxy didn't start. I then

% ls /opt/local/etc/privoxy/

config.new-dist         match-all.action.new    user.action.new-dist
default.action          templates/              user.filter.new-dist
default.filter          trust.new-dist

I had modified user.action and user.filter heavily and now they seem to have been deleted when updating. Besides, "config" is also missing after this update which prevents privoxy from starting.

To me, the update script seems really broken.
