Object Manager: No error message appears when importing a package with a missing dependency

Symptom

In Strategy 2019 Update 1 and Update 2, importing a package with a missing dependency into Object Manager does not cause an error message to appear. Instead, it says the import was successful.

However, when you run the package, an error appears because there is a metadata inconsistency. 

Steps to Reproduce

1. In Developer, create a report and a filter. 
2. Add the newly created filter to your newly created report.
3. Save the report.
4. In Object Manager, create a package with the report. Do not click Add All Used Dependencies.
5. Import the package in another project to Object Manger. The import is successful.
6. Open Developer and try to run the newly imported report, the metadata error appears.

Cause

This is an identified defect in Object Manager.
 

Solution

This issue is resolved in Strategy 2019 Update 3. Upgrade to Strategy 2019 Update 3 or later to take advantage of the fix.
