After reading my code (I tend to forget the details), it turns out that cme is 
written to emit a warning when madison is down, use data from the cache. If 
all fail, cme will warn about unknown package.

The fact that cme crashes when no info can be retrieved from madison or the 
cache is a plain bug...

All the best
