[issue68] search crashes with TypeError, info crashes with AttrributeError

[multinymous at Labix Tracker]

New submission from multinymous <multinymous at gmail.com>:

I get the following error with smart 0.41 on Fedora Core 4 (RPMforge
smart-2.2.fc4.rf, stock FC4 python-2.4.1-2):

"info" is also broken for some several packages (but works for others):

    for line in info.getDescription().splitlines():

---------------------------------

Other commands (upgrade, install, remove, check) work fine.
