Because the machine kept reporting 'failed unmount' for these above, 
something like this:

umounting /run/user/1000
failed to umount /run/user/1000
umounting /run/user/106
failed to umount /run/user/106
...
...

(Sorry I forgot the exact syntax of how the machine reported that, 
because it was last week. But it finally started to poweroff properly 
after I removed all clamav -related stuff from that machine. In fact, I 
noticed that all those clam* things still belonged to Wheezy, being in 
versions ...deb7u1 or so, after I upgraded Wheezy LTS to Jessie.)

I don't know ... I got that machine some 6-7 years ago, as a second-hand 
then. So it is probably some 10+ year old at least.

I see. But as I said, removing some packages returned the box to normal 
shutdown.

Furthermore, what wondered me even more is that another *older* box I 
have here (dated back to the beginning of the previous decade!), that 
runs with only 224MB RAM on Celeron 400MHz, did not experience failure 
in poweroff at all.
