[yocto] Replacing eglibc with glibc in Yocto 1.6.1?

[John Ernberg]

Hi

I'm using Yocto 1.6.1 (Daisy) in a project, and I'm not allowed to 
update to a newer version, I did however get the task to update from 
eglibc-2.19 to glibc-2.23.

So far I have imported the recipes from Yocto 2.1, including the 
tclibc-glibc.inc file.
Changed the TCLIBC variable to the new value.
Imported the configuration values from the other .inc files (such as 
preferred version) into my distro.conf.
Disabled the distro feature ptest (temporary).

After these changes I am getting the error log attached below.
One solution I tried was setting the RPROVIDES from eglibc to "". It 
didn't change anything.

I am wondering if anyone has any advice on what I have done wrong?

Thank you in advance and best regards // John Ernberg
