rospack ends with "rosboost_cfg.rosboost_cfg.BoostError"

edit

While I'm trying to build the stack someone made 2 years ago, I started having this error since a week ago and haven't been able to remove it.

% rospack libs-only-L --deps-only packageA

[rospack] error in backquote expansion for packageA

I can't detect where this package designates the "math" library, nor from where rosboost_cfg.py is called (seems like rospack.cpp doesn't call it).

Env) Ubuntu 10.10, diamondback/electric (same under either distribution)

Thanks.

Update 9/9/2011) In response to the suggestion, I checked libboost-math-dev which I found is already installed as follows:

/usr/share/doc/libboost-math1.42-dev
/usr/share/doc/libboost-math1.42.0
/usr/share/doc/libboost-math-dev
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/libboost-math1.42.0

But the error log indicates it searched /usr/lib. Any way to modify/add the search path? I looked at rosboost_cfg.py where I couldn't find one.

Update 9/9/2011 #2)

In /usr/lib, many libboost_math* files are found, which seems to correspond to the files of libboost_math-dev (note that incl. underscore) that is defined in ubuntu's web site.

Update 9/13/2011)

Modifying rosboost_cfg.py as https://code.ros.org/trac/ros/attachment/ticket/3671/rosboost_cfg.py.20110912.diff bypassed the error. However, since I haven't regression tested, side effect might occur.
