Option "--force": Misleading error message (I)

[Michael Schmitt <Mi...@teststep.org>]

Hello everybody,

it seems like the comments/error messages on option "--force" are not 
alway correct. In the example given below, the user is encouraged to use 
"--force" but the operation still fails.

Kind regards, Michael
