Error: failed to start network: network not bootstrapped

[vega-paul]

When starting a network using

vegacapsule network start --home-path /Users/paulwebb/repos/networkdata/testnet --do-not-stop-on-failure

This fails with the error below
Only solution here is to remove the /testnet folder and try again

I've seen this issue before, and it's basically always caused by not having cleaned up the directory with make cleanup. Given what you say about removing the testnet directory, and your other issue about the cleanup command, I'd 95% say that this is not a bug, and caused by the other issue.
