As I am a little confused which Repository URL I should put in the sources.list, I tried the Raspbian repository. However, when I do apt-get upgrade I got following error which is not expected. Any idea on this effort?

Unless you are planning to run your own repository server: none. There
is certainly support for doing that, look for topic on "package feeds"
in the Yocto documentation.

Your snippet below looks like you are trying to use the raspbian
repositories, which certainly won't work. You have to understand that
what you have built is *NOT* a replacement for a raspbian installation
that will just fill in - it is a whole separated, custom distribution
and in no way related to any package repository thats out there. So if
you actually want to use those, then you have also to use their base
distribution.

If you want to stick with Yocto, your two choices are:
- just include everything you need in the build. (thats the common one)
- run a custom package feed server (can be done, but probably you're
  better off with already existing solutions then.
