The error messages indicate that you had a file called /tmp/privoxy-blocklist.sh which is preventing the creation of the temporary directory. I assume that you downloaded the script into your /tmp/ directory and ran it from there resulting in this error.

To solve this, either move the script to a different place or change TMPDIR in the config file /etc/conf.d/privoxy-blacklist to a different path.
