ERROR: xorg/test: Error in package_info() method, line 68
self._fill_cppinfo_from_pkgconfig(name)
while calling '_fill_cppinfo_from_pkgconfig', line 18
if not pkg_config.provides:
ConanException: pkg-config command ['pkg-config', '--print-provides', 'xtrans', '--print-errors'] failed with error: Command 'pkg-config --print-provides xtrans --print-errors' returned non-zero exit status 1.
Package xtrans was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xtrans.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'xtrans', required by 'virtual:world', not found
I think that pkg-config search all libraries in the list in package_info(self) function and if it didn’t find, then it would print error in above. So I’m thinking of adding more than one package in packages list.
For example to dnf and yum package manager:
packages = ["xorg-x11-server-devel", "libxcb-devel", "libdmx-devel",
"libfontenc-devel", "libFS-devel", "libICE-devel",
"libSM-devel", "libXau-devel", "libXaw-devel",
"libXcomposite-devel", "libXcursor-devel", "libXdamage-devel",
"libXdmcp-devel", "libXext-devel", "libXfixes-devel",
"libXft-devel", "libXi-devel", "libXinerama-devel",
"libxkbfile-devel", "libXmu-devel", "libXpm-devel",
"libXrandr-devel", "libXrender-devel", "libXres-devel",
"libXScrnSaver-devel", "libXt-devel", "libXtst-devel",
"libXv-devel", "libXvMC-devel", "libXxf86dga-devel",
"libXxf86vm-devel", "xorg-x11-xtrans-devel"]

Actually, https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/pull/2115 should fix this issue
Is this issue fixed? I cannot install the bincrafters pango package because it depends on xorg/system and pkg-config cannot find all of the libs in the the package_info step. Copying the recipe file from the conan-center and replacing the package list with the one shown in this issue fixes it.
