Sounds like the following OpenSUSE packaging bug still hasn't been fixed:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2783703&group_id=11118&atid=211118

You are most likely getting the internal error because Privoxy is
configured to use an improperly populated chroot directory, so it
can't access its template files. If that's the case, you are probably
also looking at the wrong log file.

I'd suggest you file a bug report with OpenSuSE.
