What pkgdb-cli retire does is nothing different than what the UI does. So if he
is stuck in the fedmsg retire process at the call to pkgdb-cli, this can be
circumvent by using the UI.

Btw, in pkgdb2, for Fedora branches, the user can only retire the master branch,
the other branch will remain orphaned until it is EOL'd. Only admins are able to
retire a package on a active Fedora release*.
