aws-cdk-cli: when using -e, it hangs on publishing

[matusgallik]

Describe the bug

I have several stacks. First (Data) creates DynamoDB tables and then the next one (COmpute) imports these and passes them to other resources. When I delete a table from Data I need to first run cdk deploy -e compute to make sure that the table is no longer used and then I can run the Data/whole deployment to prevent CDK shouting at me. However, if I do cdk -e compute, it gets stuck at

Expected Behavior

I would expect it to not hang.

Current Behavior

It just hangs here and I have to kill it.

Reproduction Steps

Maybe just creating two stacks like mentioned?
