Package Control seems to unload and never load back in again

[itd]

PC was working. Then, it wasn't. I ended-up removing the entire ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/ directory, re-installed PC, restarted. PC seemed to start. I also put the User *.sublime-settings back. It worked for a while, and then quit (See the error below.)

I can remove all the ST settings, put "Package Control.sublime-package" back in the "Installed Packages" folder, restart, and PC will appear in the Command Pallete again for a while. However, when I look at the Command Pallete and select List Packages, the only package listed is Package Control.

I'm behind some crazy corporate firewall that just recently started jacking with https requests. I'm betting dollars to dimes that this could have something to do with what's going on.

I do have this env variable set: GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1

Any ideas on what I might check or how to help troubleshoot this?

Here's the Error:

There is a testing version with full proxy support, see #119 for details.

[wbond]

I've posted a new version of Package Control (1.5.0.11) just today at https://sublime.wbond.net/testing/Package%20Control.sublime-package. Please:

1. In Sublime Text, click the Preferences > Browse Packages… menu entry
2. Browse up a folder and then into the Installed Packages folder
3. Download http://sublime.wbond.net/testing/Package%20Control.sublime-package and copy it into the Installed Packages directory
4. Restart Sublime Text

Also note that in the new version, there are separate settings for proxy_username and proxy_password which you may need to set.

This new version adds support for basic, digest and ntlm auth for proxies. Unfortunately I don't have any of these to test against, but I am hoping it will help with your issue, and you can report any issues back.

Magically works! I also had a mysterious configuration problem where, in some sleep-deprived stupor, I'd put PC in the "ignored_packages" list to see if I could reset something. Beer on the way!

Recommendation: Stick another copy of the "Buy me a beer" button on the Package Control overview age. I had to click a couple of times to find it. ;-)

Edit:

I was getting this in the console:

Package Control: Error parsing JSON from channel https://sublime.wbond.net/repositories.json.
error: Package Control: There are no packages available for installation. 

Because of the crazy "WebSense" https packet inspection madness my employer has implemented that basically acts as a man-in-the-middle attack, adding the following to my Preferences > Package Settings > Package Control > Settings - User helped with SSL issues when viewing the list of packages via "Package Control: Install Package" (made links http instead of https):

"repository_channels":
[
    "http://sublime.wbond.net/repositories.json"
],
"submit_url": "http://sublime.wbond.net/submit"
