[Bug 424462] Re: apt-mirror won't delete it's lock-file on exit

[Tony Mugan]

My comment above is not entirely accurate.
Once I manually deleted the file apt-mirror.lock (I do not have it the default location of /var/spool/apt-mirror/var/apt-mirror.lock), then apt-mirror continued to work.  

However, the stray lock file would have caused the issue above to continue under the current version.
Perhaps, a command line parameter e.g.  --reset-lock could be added which the locking error would inform the user about?
