Building an embedded linux yocto

Question

I try to build an embedded linux system for my raspberrypi3 board using yocto on Ubuntu 16.04 I use stable branch fido. But I got this error:

**ERROR:** *quilt-native-0.64-r0 do_populate_lic: Error executing a python function in exec_python_func() autogenerated: The stack trace of python calls that resulted in this exception/failure was:
File: 'exec_python_func() autogenerated', lineno: 2, function: <module>*

How do I resolve these ?

have you ensured that pre-requisites are installed they are here yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/mega-manual/… — Khem
I have install all pre-requisites: $ sudo apt-get install gawk wget git-core diffstat unzip texinfo gcc-multilib build-essential chrpath socat make xsltproc docbook-utils fop dblatex xmlto libsdl1.2-dev xterm install python-git — Kamel-GH
fido is a lot, but certainly not stable - rather massively end of life. See: Yocto Releases. I'd suggest to try again with warrior, zeus or thud. — LetoThe2nd
I tried with warrior and thud, but I got the same error !! :/ — Kamel-GH

This question has been taken to the OpenEmbedded Development mailing list and has been found to not be a problem with Yocto/OE but with the users specific building host.

Ubuntu 16.04 is confirmed as working.

Please try again with a clean container or build machine, and if that is not possible, please name any virtuallization/containerization/other magic that is in use here, as it is most likely the source of the problem.
