Part of the solution here is to not rely entirely on yum depsolving, and
instead add explicitly which polkit you want in the comps group, so that
a provider is already selected.  Yum won't select an additional one.
This is what we should do for critpath as well, mark the gnome policy
kit explicitly as part of the critpath.
