k now I understand more this one:
Computing transaction...error: Can't install
gtest-dev-1.7.0-r0 at armv7a_vfp_neon: no package provides gtest =
1.7.0-r0


198 EXTENDPRAUTO = "${@['.${PRAUTO\x7d',''][d.getVar('PRAUTO',1) is None]}"
199 PRAUTOINX = "${PF}"
200
201 PKGV ?= "${PV}"
202 PKGR ?= "${PR}${EXTENDPRAUTO}"
203 PKGE ?= "${@['','${PE\x7d'][int(d.getVar('PE',1) or 0) > 0]}"
204 EXTENDPKGEVER = "${@['','${PKGE\x7d:'][d.getVar('PKGE',1).strip() != '']}"
205 EXTENDPKGV ?= "${EXTENDPKGEVER}${PKGV}-${PKGR}"

So this EXTENDPKGEVER is :

-1.7.0-r0.armv7a_vfp_neon

?

Adding this in my recipe and gtest-dev in my image create gtest
package and it succeed in creating the rootfs.

build/tmp/work/armv7a-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/gtest/1.7.0-r0/deploy-rpms/armv7a_vfp_neon$
ls
gtest-1.7.0-r0.armv7a_vfp_neon.rpm
gtest-dbg-1.7.0-r0.armv7a_vfp_neon.rpm
gtest-dev-1.7.0-r0.armv7a_vfp_neon.rpm

That works nicely but why this is not part of the recipe by default?
Could it be interesting to add it?

thx,
