The reason was aptitude: "twin-trinity" (which is installed) provides "x-display-manager" was ignored, instead aptitude resolved by some obscure reason that the not installed "cinnamon" provides "x-display-manager", so "libpolkit-gobject-1-0-systemd" has to be installed (but not "cinnamon"), ignoring "twin-trinity" which already provides "x-display-manager".
