Summary: privoxy @3.0.32 Fails to upgrade → privoxy @3.0.32 uses indeterminate perl5.major for dependencies

The problem is that privoxy doesn't use a specific version of perl, it just goes with whatever variant you happen to have installed perl5 with. That's already bad for reproducibility, but it also results in nonexistent dependencies being used sometimes, as you've discovered.
