"$" indicates, that you were running the above command as unprivileged
user. In that case it is expected that you are prompted for authentication.

dpkg/apt must be run with root privileges, in which case no separate
authentication is required.
"sudo systemctl start phpsessionclean.timer" will/should not trigger a
polkit authentication dialog.

If you have persistent journal enabled, you might still have the logs
from the previous boot.

Now that you've rebooted, does "sudo apt install --reinstall php-common"
trigger this issue again, ie. do you have a way to reproduce it?
