2013-07-18fix 'apt-cache search' crash with missing descriptionDavid Kalnischkies
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
2013-07-18skip all Description fields in apt-cache, not just firstDavid Kalnischkies
Given a Packages file like: […] Description: foo bar baz moo moo moo Multi-Arch: foreign Description-md5: 97e204a9f4ad8c681dbd54ec7c505251 […] We have to display the Multi-Arch flag field as well as the fields after the Description-md5, but not this field itself, as we already have one printed alongside the Description we display.

2013-06-20handle missing "Description" in apt-cache showDavid Kalnischkies
do not blindly assume that all packages stanzas have a "Description:" field in 'apt-cache show' as well as in the cache creation itself. We instead assume now that if the stanza has a Description, it will not be the first field as we look out for "\nDescription" to take care of MD5sum as well as (maybe ignored) translated Descriptions embedded in the package stanza.
