Regression I tried this with 3 versions of rez, with the same result. For reference, we have compiled boost with RPATH embeds, we are not setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the package.py file.

Hi @czerouni. Do you happen to have a small reproducer for us? I can't seem to be able to find what the issue is just by looking at the code.

[czerouni]

This came from a developer at the studio. Let me see if I can reproduce this. Also, we have moved away from using RPATH, so maybe this problem went away as well - not sure if they are related though.

rez depends doesn't load/execute packages. It just goes through the package repositories and tries to find everything.
