As guessed in the 2nd thread about this issue,
  http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2012-August/423150.html
I think distro-sync is not capable enough to handle this. The new polkit
"Obsoletes: polkit-desktop-policy", and distro-sync doesn't add back the
old polkit-desktop-policy package.
