Public bug reported:
I rebooted the VM that mailman was running on, when I tried to start mailman up after the reboot, i got this output:
$ mailman -C /etc/mailman.cfg start usage: mailman [-h] [-v] [-C CONFIG] {info,status,help,withlist,start,unshunt,create,stop,remove,lists,reopen,version,import21,inject,members,qfile,restart,aliases} ... mailman: error: A previous run of GNU Mailman did not exit cleanly. Try using --force.
Running with the --force option didn't work:
$ mailman --force -C /etc/mailman.cfg start usage: mailman [-h] [-v] [-C CONFIG]
{info,status,help,withlist,start,unshunt,create,stop,remove,lists,reopen,version,import21,inject,members,qfile,restart,aliases} ... mailman: error: unrecognized arguments: --force
