$ eix --proto >look.pb

I was trying to figure out why there were >21000 categories in the protocol buffers data when I noticed that none of the categories had names and each category only contained one package.

Happens with versions 0.34.4 to 0.34.10

The problem is in the code creating the categories, where its not maintaining the category index very well. its also quite confusing to follow, so here's a simpler version ....
