libcap-ng upgrade depends problem

Hi All

I tryed to upgrade libcap-ng from 0.8.5 to 0.9, but there is PKG_CHECK error during do_configure

| checking for gawk... (cached) gawk
| ../sources/libcap-ng-0.9/configure: line 14862: syntax error near unexpected token `LIBBPF,libbpf,'
| ../sources/libcap-ng-0.9/configure: line 14862: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBBPF,libbpf,'
| NOTE: The following config.log files may provide further information.
| NOTE: /mnt/contribution/build_image/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/libcap-ng-native/0.9/build/config.log
| ERROR: configure failed
| WARNING: exit code 1 from a shell command.

It seems like libbpf is needed as dependence.
But libbpf is in meta-oe not in oe-core.
Does any one has experience about this problem?

Thanks

This probably means that the libbpf recipe needs to be moved from meta-oe
to openembedded-core. Can you send a series that adds this recipe first, and
then updates libcap-ng?

Thanks,

Apologies, I just realized you sent a follow-up patch on this, so you can ignore
my email.
