Version : drone/drone:1.7.0  
runner: drone/drone-runner-docker:1.3

**Precondition** : I have a config with two pipelines and the second one is depending on the first one,  
If I set this repository as protected. Then when I changed the pipeline for the first time, the drone will ask for approval to run them.

**Result** : **In this case, If the first pipeline fails, I approve the second pipeline after that, the second pipeline will start running even though it is set to depend on the first one**  
Here is the bug case on-line:  
[https://cloud.drone.io/biblesyme/hello-world/4](https://cloud.drone.io/biblesyme/hello-world/4)

**Expected Result** : The second pipeline should be skipped.  
This is the expected result when I rerun it
