While compiling privoxy from source, I was hitting an FTBFS bug (
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=375038 ) if I use the
dpkg-buildpackage way whereas it compiles fine if I use the pbuilder way. The
maintainer of privoxy is unable to reproduce this. So it is something with my
system. Then I thought let me just upgrade all the packages that privoxy
depends (directly or indirectly). You know the rest of the story!
