Packages pre-built for another distribution generally won't work as
intended within an OpenEmbedded/Yocto system. Just as you wouldn't
install a Ubuntu package on a RHEL system, you shouldn't install a
Ubuntu package on an OpenEmbedded based system. What's the exact
software you need?

You could use the recipe search on layers.openembedded.org to see if a
recipe already exists for the software you need, if it doesn't then
it's usually not too difficult to write your own recipe.
