6 years ago As a workaround one may use sed -i -e 's:*.:.:' /etc/privoxy/ab2p.system.action after running adblock2privoxy to automatically fix offending lines.

6 years ago Note to self: fix this directly in the file ab2p.system.action.
@wmyrda I see leading spaces in this file, which I believe is incorrect privoxy syntax. Have you gone back and checked the privoxy dox to make sure removing the leading * won’t lead to side effects? If so, do you mind tossing in a link?
I’ll come back and address this as soon as I have a moment to do so and check it.

6 years ago Just checked for it and removing space does not help after bringing back * privoxy 3.0.26 still crashes

6 years ago Only side effect of not having { +prevent-compression } is that particular site would not be filtered by privoxy. I do not think that this section belongs to the file which would be regenerated every time a2p is used at all. Those entries have to be manually generated anyways as they could not be derived from any adblock list. Personally I use file to which I add hosts on which I stumble upon and where compression is undesired.
I recommend to remove it completely and add it to separate file. My current example below
