[yocto] Apt-get is not working...

[Miguel Aveiro]

Well, I think you're missing the point of using Yocto. The idea is to
create your own distribution and manage it yourself...so don't expect a
mainstream Yocto apt repository for your target machine (RPi).

You can either include those missing libraries on your build and reflash
your RPi or set up a full apt repository yourself including the web server
and other stuff. Keep in mind that for older Yocto versions, the project
used to support smart package manager which has now moved to dnf because of
the lack of upstream maintenance of the first one. You can find information
about both on official Yocto documentation ;)
