You've answered your own question.

Actually, it should be

bin/withlist -l -r fix_url list_all --urlhost=www.vhost1.eu

Yes, but the only thing in the archives that is 'wrong' is the link to
the listinfo page from the table of contents page and the periodic
index pages. The table of contents will fix itself when a message is
archived and current and new index pages will too.

You can fix old index pages manually if it's important, or create some
kind of script to do it, or rebuild the entire archive with 'bin/arch
--wipe'.
