Because we have to have 2 different flavours of policykit (for elgoind and for
consolekit), apt finds resolving these dependencies difficult. You have to give
it a bit of help.

If you specify 'apt install libpam-elogind policykit-1' that should switch the
polkit backend libraries without removing things you still want.
