For this case, the error message is kept. What's your opinion, please ? 83675 2 richard.purdie 2019-05-01 07:09:40 +0000 The double exception is confusing to the user. The system printed a real error so it shouldn't be printing an exception at all in this case. One of the points of bb.BBHandledException is to avoid tracebacks as there should have been a usable error shown to the user already. 84713 3 liezhi.yang 2019-08-20 03:34:28 +0000 Merged into master: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=2cb6a75b5ad54fb4224a41a65a4f2bcc902f5b94
