I tried forcing environment variables (http_proxy, LD_PRELOAD=libtsocks.so) on it but as packagekitd calls clearenv() that was a useless avenue also.  I got it to work from a high level by ditching the PAC and setting GNOME to manual proxy configuration. Thinking I had no proxy, a SetProxy(null,null) was sent to packagekitd and wiped out any hope of proxy actually working.  Could packagekitd be adapted to (1) force a proxy from the conf file, and/or (2) not set proxy unless GNOME has a manual setting, and/or (3) be adapted someday to include socks/PAC support? (thinking a gjs+pacparser for PACs, the socks support can be wrapper-based) Thanks, -Dave </body> </html>
