The file /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d has the wrong owner: root:root instead of polkitd:root. Because of this, when installing lightdm before installing polkit, polkit cannot open any rules in /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/, so any packages that put files in that directory will not work properly.

If I first install polkit and then lightdm, all is well.

Also I suggest adding polkit as a mandatory dependency, so everyone can power off their computers from lightdm (I think it's a pretty basic function).

Using the latest polkit 0.111-1 and lightdm 1:1.6.0-5
This task depends upon

I'm sorry, I forgot to tag this [lightdm], it's a problem in that package.
Edit: It also should be moved to Community Packages... sorry!
