Because the file was still there from earlier this year I didn't get it from anywhere. I first ran dpkg --configure -a...that configured the half-installed packages...then I ran dpkg with force-overwrite. I guess because the offending file wasn't in the package nothing got overwritten.

I don't fully understand why the whole episode happened. I'll file a bug. This is the answer from maintainers: That happens when trying to update the package when using the MATE Debian repository at the same time and is hard to avoid since the MATE repositories contain mate-polkit while Debian has split the package into mate-polkit and mate-polkit-common. We could maybe add a Breaks here, but mixing different repositories is problematic anyways. As a hotfix, you can run: apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-overwrite -f install which will allow mate-polkit-common to overwrite files from the existing mate-polkit package installed through MATE's Debian repository.
