From https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=184441:

"Today I […] noticed that i had no package that requires polkit[, so I removed it]. But it seems that systemd needs polkit to grant non priviliged user poweroff/reoboot/suspend... etc etc permissions (in fact systemd ships a few files in /usr/share/polkit-1/). So I tried to add my user to the "power" group, but nothing changed. Then i reverted back and installed polkit again. Now everything works again. […]"
