Make PackagKit use the user's network proxies Pick up network proxies from the user's environment and make PackagKit use them. Setting network proxies is a privileged operation, so it is only attempted if the user is allowed to use the polkit action org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-network-proxy-configure without authentication.
