Why am I always getting dependency errors using Image Builder?

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev zlib1g-dev gawk git gettext libssl-dev xsltproc wget unzip python
umask 0022
git clone https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git
cd openwrt
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a

After running ./scripts/feeds install -a these dependency errors pop up everytime. What am I missing? I've found another topic describing this problem but there was no solution. I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

This is not the image builder. These are not errors, but warnings so can be ignored.

Sooo what this called?? and will it give me the same results? I just need one single custom image for one device and then i'm done with it. It's compiling as I'm writing this and it's taking forever.

This is the difference: Image builder is using precompiled packages and can get you a new firmware file in less then five minutes. You are actually compiling from source and it can take several hours depending on your computer.
