[bitbake-devel] [PATCH] ConfHandler: Fix bogus dependency problems

[Richard Purdie]

Adding a dependency when errors occur accessing a file when calling
handle() is not the correct thing to do. THe handle() code calls
resolve_file() which can raise an exception without ever touching
"fn" itself, it has also already marked all the dependencies correctly.

This leads to bogus files being resolved to the local cwd and
hence triggers reparses for no good reason.

The solution is to simply remove the bogus dependency.
