How to resolve panther_analysis_tool error: pack definition includes item(s) that do not exist

Issue

After updating panther_analysis_tool from an older version to a newer one, a command that previously succeeded now throws the following error: 

pack (PantherManaged.PackNameHere) definition includes item(s) that do no exist (Example.Pack.1, Example.Pack.2)

Resolution

If you are not using Detection Packs, then you can delete the packs directory out of your panther_analysis folder, and panther_analysis_tool will ignore what throws the error above.

If you are using Detection Packs, please reach out to our support team at support@panther.com for more assistance.

Cause

Pack Validation was added to panther_analysis_tool in version v0.14.0. If you have Panther-managed packs that you downloaded before this validation feature was released, upgrading from before v0.14.0 to after it may cause validation failures on those packs, such as the one above.
