[yocto] Expansion Error during parsing of glibc_2.28 recipe

[Dhanush K.S]

Hello,

I'm trying to upgrade the glibc recipe from version 2.27 to 2.28 in Yocto
Sumo 2.5. Building the recipe for both qemux86 and for arm-cortex-a8
machines throws an Expansion error as below.

Using devtool to upgrade the recipe doesn't work as well. Just changes the
recipe name but the SRC_URI remains the same as that of v2.27.

What am I missing here?

Here is my build config.

*Build Configuration:
