Hello Guix,
Currently, on GNOME (as in examples/desktop.tmpl), when an “Automatic”
proxy is configured, Epiphany (aka. Web) and Eolie fail like this:
The problem is that our ‘glib-networking’ package is configured without
libproxy as a dependency; thus it does not install
‘glib-pacrunner.service’, which in turn leads to that D-Bus error.
The solution is to add libproxy to the inputs of glib-networking.
However, that creates a dependency loop because libproxy depends on
network-manager → libsoup → glib-networking.
To break the loop, we probably need to introduce
glib-networking-minimal and have network-manager depend on it
(indirectly).
Thoughts?
