It looks like emacs does not properly handle package refreshes when the internet connection has been killed in the middle of an refresh.

I often get this message in that case and I can't call package until I actually kill emacs and restart it.

That's a bug which was almost certainly introduced in a6d87ea045 by
yours truly.  Could you please file a new bug report by running M-x
report-emacs-bug or emailing bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org?  Please include a
reference to this thread.

Thanks in advance.
