Description Jacob Kroon 2019-04-13 14:26:09 UTC 
I was using

  addtask foo before bar after x after y

which I think is incorrect syntax, although bitbake didn't warn, but instead silently zapped the dependency on "after x".

Correct syntax would be

  addtask foo before bar after x y

(only one 'after').

I suggest either bitbake should handle the first version as well, or it should give an error when parsing.

Should results in an error.
