    let header = db.read_header(0)?;
    let mut reader = PackageReader::new(db, header);

    while reader.next_category()? {
        let category = reader.current_category();
        while let Some(pkg) = reader.read_package()? {
            println!("{}/{}: {}", category, pkg.name, pkg.description);
