Yes, VTK is broken on the machine, and we could fix the machine. 
However, this would be the first time we did a work around for the 
modules test by fixing the machine.  I wonder if we could just disable 
fatal error at the start of find_package optional.  Then turn it back on 
at the end.  My concern is optional packages, maybe that is a rare case 
not sure.
