You are setting FILES_libxerces-c-staticdev, but there is no 
libxerces-c-staticdev in PACKAGES, so the file is not actually packaged, hence 
the error.

BTW as a general best practice for most recipes I would advise adding to 
PACKAGES rather than setting it outright - this will of course mean your 
library packages will be called xerces-c* rather than libxerces-c* within 
recipe, but they are going to be renamed to libxerces-c* at runtime anyway by 
debian.bbclass.

Cheers,
Paul
