Modifications of configuration files shipped by upstream packages such
as for example /etc/dnf/dnf.conf (package dnf, upstream: Fedora) by
downstream distributions (Qubes) is always problematic. When upstream
changes the file, it will conflict during upgrading.

I am trying to get rid of the update_conf code. [1] Therefore I posted
two feature requests against dnf and PackageKit. [2] [3]

What is not covered is not modifying /etc/pacman.conf. I was wondering,
is that required at all? I am not a archlinux user but I have seen there
also is /etc/pacman.d. Could a file /etc/pacman.d/qubes-proxy.conf also
work?

Could you test this please, Olivier?

Cheers,
Patrick
