[Bug 427625] Re: privoxy not start at boot - karmic

I had this problem running privoxy under Ubuntu karmic with all
available updates installed through 12 Dec 2009 :

Privoxy (version 2.0.0.23 (20090817)) installed but after a week or so,
it would never actually load, whether started from the command line or
by Vidalia.

All of privoxy's files were in the correct places. Reinstalling privoxy
did not help.  The appropriate lines in privoxy config were all enabled,
eg, 'forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .'

I cured this problem by searching privoxy's config file for EVERY
active, ie, enabled, config line which contained 'localhost'.  There
were several and I eventually changed them all to: '127.0.0.1'.

On the first go, I overlooked an instance of localhost on an enabled
config line and privoxy would not run until I changed every such
instance in the config file to 127.0.0.1 Since then it has loaded and
run perfectly.

I hope this helps someone....
