[Openembedded-users] PROVIDES vs PACKAGES

I'm trying to understand the difference between PACKAGES and PROVIDES.

The context is this:

If I do

bitbake tslib-calibrate

I get

ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'tslib-calibrate'

But if I look in recipes/tslib/tslib.inc I see
PACKAGES =+ ".... tslib-calibrate"

Why does the tslib-calibrate package not get built?

Thanks

Charles
