            ManagementPackCriteria mpCriteria = new ManagementPackCriteria(query);
            
            IList<ManagementPack> mPacks = 
                mg.ManagementPacks.GetManagementPacks(mpCriteria);
            if (mPacks.Count != 1)
                throw new InvalidOperationException(
                    "Error! Expected one Management Pack with: " + query);
            
            mg.ManagementPacks.UninstallManagementPack(mPacks[0]);
