[linux-yocto] How do you use a latest package version in a Yocto (older version) ?

[Anurag Raghavan (RBEI/ETW1)]

I am using the following Yocto version,

DISTRO = "poky"
DISTRO_NAME = "Poky 8.0.1 (Yocto Project 1.3.1 Reference Distro)"
DISTRO_VERSION = "1.3.1"
SDK_VENDOR = "-pokysdk"

I want to upgrade the following packages.


1.     Currently using package apt_0.7.14 and nee to upgrade to the latest version (say apt_1.2.12).

2.     Currently using package eglibc-2.16 and nee to upgrade to the latest version. I think latest Yocto versions using glibc instead of eglibc.


I tried the following steps,


1.     Copied the apt recipes Yocto-2.3\poky-pyro-17.0.0\meta\recipes-devtools/apt to my work space.

2.     Initiated bitbake.

3.     But I am getting some do_configure error.

Log attached

It will be much appreciated, if anyone can help to solve this issue.
