fix 'apt-cache search' crash with missing description
Beside the earlier fixed 'apt-cache show', 'showpkg' and 'search' deal with descriptions. 'showpkg' was fixed by fixing the cache generation for 'show', but 'search' still segfaulted. On the upside, it doesn't segfault any longer, on the downside, if a package has no description at all (aka: not in the Packages file and not in a Translation-* file) the package can't be found with 'search', even if we search only by name. That is a shortcoming in the code, but fixing it means rewriting it completely for dubious gain at best. So this commit just skips packages without a description and is done. Closes: 647590
