Chocolatey CLI does not function at all when "Not a valid nupkg" error is shown

Checklist

What You Are Seeing?

When a package exists in the lib folder, but does not have any corresponding entries in the .chocolatey folder, the error 'Not a valid nupkg file' is shown. This stops Chocolatey CLI from doing anything else until the problem is resolved.

What is Expected?

If there is a problem with a particular package, Chocolatey CLI should warn the user, but should still function. If possible, it should let the user know what they should do and what the error is (i.e., no equivalent package ID in .chocolatey folder for example).

How Did You Get This To Happen?

See the Zendesk ticket for more information. Note that there is also a script that was created to resolve the problem in that ticket.
