Mixing branches is the issue here. meta-networking added a LAYERDEPENDS on "core" which the denzil poky/OE-Core doesn't provide. This is just an incidental error though, if it hadn't failed on this you'd have hit other problems. meta-networking wasn't even around in the denzil days. If you need net-snmp from there on top of denzil the only way is to backport the recipe and any missing dependencies and add it to an additional layer (assuming you don't already have a layer for customisations). In practice backporting should be fairly trivial; I'd suggest copying the recipe over and seeing how far you get.
