Configuration information is lost. >How-To-Repeat: Install privoxy: su cd /usr/ports/www/privoxy make install clean Customize privoxy with local settings: vi /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config Upgrade privoxy: portupgrade -f privoxy Note that local configuration settings have been clobbered: cat /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config >Fix: When privoxy is upgraded, if /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config already exists, then install the default config file with a different name, e.g. "config.default", instead of overwriting the existing file. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
