Any suggestions on this are welcome, we are building a machine dedicated to yocto builds and would prefer to use Debian.
Hold up is the list of dependencies for TI's yocto, they are all present for Ubuntu 22.04 but not available for Debian.

You are probably trying to install packages compiled for i386 (32 bit) architecture in a amd64 (64bit) architecture installation.
First of all, you have to verify if it is really required. Then, if you really require a multiarch installation, you have to configure your Debian installation for it [1] before installing packages compiled for a foreign architecture (for example, an i386 install in an amd64 install).
Moving to yocto for embedded arm development and not sure what we can and cannot do.
Just going by the instructions from Ti they verified against Ubuntu 18.04 and we have been able to build images that do boot using their instructions. That also works in VMware Workstation 17 with a 18.04 image also native on one of our retired servers that is only 4 cores. It is slow going so it needs to go on a dedicated box with the preferred OS. Did try running it on a headless 18.04 server build and it did not work due to the missing dependencies.
That is the part we are uncertain of. Moving to yocto for embedded arm development and not sure what we can and cannot do.

What is the CPU of the headless 18.04 server build you wish to install on ?

Its on an old dell T110 II, installed the desktop 18.04 and did have the correct packages and yocto did build. Been ssh'n into it because the video output is for a small screen and looks funky on modern monitors.
kernel headers won't hurt, but they won't help, either...
I will try installing the headers on a debian machine and see if the headers will make a difference.
Both machines are amd64.
They set that up years ago when 32 bit was king and that stuff might need to be removed. They still have python on the list too, so that was changed to python3.
yocto has so much going on and its takes some time to find stuff,

Did you ignore my post about not needing headers, and the list of required packages from TI itself which does specify python3 packages?
Just askin'.
I deleted the both VM's that were setup and will start over.
In the TI website they have python listed at the top just as "python" so that string posted was modified to python3.
Did find out why yocto went into turtle mode using ubuntu, firefox and snapd are causing the problems. Just removed all of that from ubuntu and it runs much better, the new issue is firefox will not start when that stuff is off.
That explains why debian performs so much better in a VM than Ubuntu does. When typing in a debian terminal it is instant, in the ubuntu terminal it pauses and that is very annoying. Blamed that on workstation 17, however that is not the reason why.
