[bitbake-devel] [1.28][PATCH 1/2] lib/bb/utils: fix error in edit_metadata() when deleting first line

[Paul Eggleton]

If you tried to delete the variable on the first line passed to
edit_metadata() this failed because the logic for trimming extra blank
lines didn't expect the list to be empty at that point - fix that bad
assumption.
