In the pkg-config file you can see the line "Requires: libxfcegui4-1.0".
It is a dependency on another pkg-config file, libxfcegui4-1.0.pc, which
is included in your libxfcegui4-devel package. If it is not installed,
pkg-config queries on "exo" fail. In addition to that, broken pkg-config
dependency chains break global queries like --list-all (and there are
programs, which do such queries).
