Description

I downloaded the src.rpm for wf-config and after I was done editing it to fit Mageia I installed all the dependencies defined in the .spec-file and all installed without any issues.

I then placed the tarball for wf-config from the src.rpm into ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ and then ran rpmbuild -ba wf-config.spec.
Attached is the full build output with its error.

wf-config failed to build.txt

wf-config spec file.txt

I don't see how I made a boo boo so please help me.

Research direction

Start by reading the attached full build output and wf-config spec file, then reproduce the failure with rpmbuild -ba wf-config.spec using the listed dependencies. Check the BuildRequires: pkgconfig(libxml-2.0) declaration against the reported error; done means the 0.9.0 source package builds successfully in the described Mageia setup.
