You need to set the proxy settings locally for your regular user. The full online update runs as root so it uses /root/.curlrc for its proxy settings. The susewatcher process runs as the normal user, so you need a /home/<user>/.curlrc with the proxy settings. Just copy it from /root/
OK, then it's education time for me from Anders!
On my system, neither root nor any user has a ~/.curlrc. curl and compat-curl2 are installed. Proxy settings are configured globally via YaST, Network Services. I hadn't logged into KDE as root since updating to 9.3 so I did, ran SuSEwatcher to check for updates then logged out. No .curlrc anywhere. Checked the 9.2 backups and there isn't any .curlrc there either.
Am I or my system missing something here?
Yes, an authenticating proxy. I should have mentioned that the curlrc is only needed if you need a username and password to log into the proxy. The actual proxy server and port settings are taken from one of the *_proxy environment variables.
