what is the solution other than excluding these files?  I excluded some files but its not convenient to exclude every error encountered.

[Duarte Meneses]

I'm afraid there is no other solution. The general strategy is to fail fast when such errors happen so that some files are not potentially skipped.

You should either fix the link or exclude the files.
