When can an exception happen here?

Also, the following seems simpler and equivalent:

(any (lambda (prefix)
       (and (string-prefix? prefix)
            (string-drop pkg-name (string-length prefix))))
     '("java-" "perl-" "python-" "python2-" "ruby-"))

It would be nice to test the code for guessing the CPE name of a
package in a few unit tests.

Greetings,
Maxime
