[yocto] error: Can't install libxl-dev-1.0-r0 at cortexa9hf_neon: no package provides libxl = 1.0-r0

[Warren Harper]

I am having trouble writing a recipe and including libxl-dev it in an image.

The recipe is libxl_1.0.bb:
```
SUMMARY = "A C++ Excel Library to read/write xls/xlxs files"
DESCRIPTION = "A C++ Excel Library to read/write xls/xlxs files"
LICENSE = "MIT"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://COPYING;md5=2aee0be2678ee90fd327cc186826438e"

SRC_URI = "\
file://COPYING \
file://libxl.so \
"

S = "${WORKDIR}"

do_install() {
install -d "${D}${libdir}"
install "${WORKDIR}/libxl.so" "${D}${libdir}" -m 0644
}
```

When I run the command to the build the image I get the following error during the do_rootfs task:
Computing transaction...error: Can't install libxl-dev-1.0-r0 at cortexa9hf_neon: no package provides libxl = 1.0-r0

What is causing the above issue?

Thanks,
