I was having the same problem. I found it to be a problem with an
unofficial libpcre package from pgquiles' ppa archive.
To determine if you're having the same problem, you can do this:

$tail /var/log/privoxy/errorfile:

Jun 20 12:34:42.810 Privoxy(b7d696b0) Info: Privoxy version 3.0.8
Jun 20 12:34:42.810 Privoxy(b7d696b0) Info: Program name: /usr/sbin/privoxy

$ dpkg -l|grep pcre
ii  libpcre++0                                 0.9.5-3                          
         C++ wrapper class for pcre (runtime)

         Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library - C

To fix it, here's what I did:
1) sudo dpkg --force-depends --remove libpcre3 libpcrecpp0
2) comment out/disable the pgquiles source in my /etc/apt/source.list file
3) sudo apt-get update
4) sudo apt-get -f install

Now privoxy starts again!
