This is probably because libproxy doesn't contain a pacrunner module. Adding this to libproxy pulls in webkitgtk or xulrunner, which isn't acceptable. Best solution is to add a split package with a pacrunner module.

Please test libproxy 0.4.11-5 which has pacrunner modules based on js17 and webkitgtk. Dependencies were added as optdepend, but typical desktops will have at least js17 installed by default because polkit requires it.

I tested libproxy 0.4.11-5 (optional dependencies were all met) with the automatic proxy configuration and it worked. Many thanks.
