Bug#748556: general: Power Off does not work

[prioryc <jimc@priorycomputers.com>]

Package: general
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Since update/upgrade of Jessie on or about 14th May:-
Select menu "Power Off" - dialogue Cancel/Restart/PowerOff appears.
Select "Power Off" very little appears to happen all tasks continue to run and
new tasks can be started.

Enter "shutdown now" command - system closes down and stops - shows "INIT_ no
more processes left in this runlevel". Does not power down

Running uGet to download files overnight with option to "Shutdown when
complete" appears to do the right thing and the system is powered off in the
morning.
