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.
