Bug Description

Currently, glib-networking-services only contains one binary: glib-pacrunner.

glib-pacrunner runs PAC files using libproxy. However, in libproxy1, the pacrunner plugin has been split off into a separate package (libproxy1-plugin-webkit). As a result, PAC files which worked in previous versions of Ubuntu will no longer work in programs which use glib-networking for proxy resolution unless the package is manually installed.

I did not test this against a fresh installation, but it's quite likely to be the case as well.

I confirm this issue. In a default precise desktop installation, glib-networking doesn't properly handle PAC proxy configuration files because of this missing package.

This results in proxy autoconfiguration not working properly.

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
