Per my previous comments, ROS uses a different PCL.  This different
PCL contains a manifest.xml file which is what rospack is looking for.

And yes, rosdep/rospack have very different dependency mechanisms.
rosdep manages a variety of OS-specific package managers, which is
what its dependencies are keyed against.  rospack only tests for ROS
package dependencies, i.e. things that have manifest.xml files.
