Hi,

I had the same problem of XFCE not being able to restart/shutdown/suspend.
libpolicykit-agent-1-0 and policykit-1 were being held back on apt-get
upgrade.
When installing explicitly they were pulling ibpolkit-backend-systemd and
libpolkit-gobject-systemd (among others) as dependencies as I didn't have
them installed.

I followed J. Fahrner advice and installed libpolkit-backend-consolekit and
libpolkit-gobject-consolekit.
After that XFCE was able to restart/shutdown/suspend again.
apt-get upgrade was then willing to upgrade ibpolicykit-agent-1-0 and
policykit-1 without pulling any further dependecies, which I did.

Everything works now, Thanks!
I hope this is useful.

Cheers!
Antonio
