bitbake-layers add-layer meta-python meta-raspberrypi failed

I have a Raspberry 4 model B and was trying to build Yocoto linux from Ubuntu for installation. I was following https://medium.com/@shantanoodesai/run-docker-on-a-raspberry-pi-4-with-yocto-project-551d6b615c0b instructions. At step 

bitbake-layers add-layer ../layers/meta-openembedded/meta-python
bitbake-layers add-layer ../layers/meta-raspberrypi

I encountered the following errors

pi@raspberrypi:~/Yocto/RaspberryPi/build $ bitbake-layers add-layer ../layers/meta-openembedded/meta-python

Can anyone advise what should be fixed?

i got same error and solved with below methods

  1. all layers should be on same branch. like meta-raspberripi , meta-openembedded , meta-poky should be on same zeus branch. we can check we are on which branch by git branch. we can mover to branch by git checkout zeus.

  2. if you already got error their then open bblayers.conf and delete last added layers before adding new layers again (as suggested above).

I think there is an issue with bitbake-layers tool in warrior release here, so an alternative is to try to open conf/bblayers.conf file in an editor and delete the last entry/line ( probably one containing meta-networking ) in BBLAYERS variable and save the file. Now continue with the bitbake-layers add-layer

bitbake-layers add-layer ../layers/meta-openembedded/meta-networking
bitbake-layers add-layer ../layers/meta-openembedded/meta-python
bitbake-layers add-layer ../layers/meta-raspberrypi

Hope this helps
