This is not supported. The $BR2_EXTERNAL mechanism can only be used to
add distinct packages from the ones available in Buildroot itself. You
cannot use it to override packages that exist in Buildroot with the
same name.
Possible solutions are:
*) Create a new package with a different name in your $BR2_EXTERNAL
directory.
*) Change Buildroot itself, and keep your changes in a separate branch.
Best regards,
Thomas
