Description:
The policykit will try to use gid 102 as policykit group. However, the gid above 100 is used by users. My personal group is 102, which is conflict with policykit.
I think policykit should use the gid below 100, which was reserved for system use.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
testing/policykit 0.9-3
* config and/or log files etc.
- pacman installation log
( 6/22) installing policykit [#####################] 100%
groupadd: GID 102 is not unique
useradd: unknown group policykit
chgrp: invalid group: `policykit'

I have this in /etc/groups:
users::100:
gdm:x:101:
stb-admin:x:102:roman
stb-admin is from system-tools-backends and was installed without specifying GID

Fixed in -4 for x86_64. Can someone build this thing for i686?
