This looks like you are using OpenEmbedded or the Yocto Project.  You might get 
more response asking there lists.

However, the first thing you need to do is check that you have the rpm-sys 
loaded, as well as the remote feed.  List your available sources, if rpm-sys is 
missing that is your problem.  It's only able to check the remote feed and not 
the local system.

The other thing to check is that your /etc/rpm/platform file is setup properly. 
  This file is used by RPM5 to explain compatibility with packages.  If it's not 
configured properly you can get into a situation where the smart side tries an 
upgrade and the RPM side determines it's not compatible.
