What version of Yocto (OE-core) do you have?  Those are pretty old
recipes and the corresponding tarballs seem to no longer be available.
If you update your repositories, you may get farther along.

n.b. when you run bitbake, you'll see a summary of what repositories
you are using.  Posting that would help a lot.
