SQL runas addendum not detected correctly

[jannepn]

The SQL server runas addendum management pack is not detected as installed.

The reason could be that the name of the management pack is the following:
2005->
Microsoft SQL Server 2016 RunAs Addendum Management Pack
Microsoft.SQLServer.RunAs.2016.Addendum
Microsoft SQL Server 2014 RunAs Addendum Management Pack
Microsoft.SQLServer.RunAs.2014.Addendum
Version 6.7.31.0

And the library:
Microsoft.SQLServer.RunAs.Addendum.Library
Microsoft SQL Server RunAs Addendum Library Management Pack
Has version 6.7.7.2

So this could be fixed by altering the system name and folder to Microsoft.SQLServer.RunAs.Addendum.Library. However, this will prevent you from showing the most recent version, as the library MP was the only MP not updated in the most recent update (the rest all share the same version number of 6.7.31.0)

Not sure which is worse (probably incorrect detection, as either way the updating functionality doesn't work) but this is probably a good example of needing to support a multi-pack solution.

Perhaps add a SupportingPacks property to the details.json object, that is an array of Key-value pair objects listing additional packs and their version number that can be used for detection and/or upgrade checking? Haven't checked the UI MP to see how it would handle additional properties that aren't in it's model (so upgrading the catalog doesn't break down level copies of the MP already imported).

Sounds like a plan with "SupportingPacks". Many managementpacks contain multiple packs and you dont always install them all so that could lead to packs not getting detected correctly.
