Description Gary Thomas 2016-03-17 07:41:02 UTC 
If you run 'bitbake some-recipe -g -u depexp' and there are any errors, the GTK window will pop up and then just sit there - forever.  For example, if 'some-recipe' does not exist.

I found this by making a simple typo when trying to run depexp on a busy system.  I thought it was just slow until I killed it and ran 'bitbake -g some-recipe' without depexp and saw my typo.  A little better feedback would be useful (expected).

I've got a small patch for the NoProvider case, can send in my next set.

Oops sent to wrong list then, thanks RP for sorting that out. 

I'm marking this resolved as I don't think there are other error events that should be handled.
