[issue101] Crash with smart search with none descriptions

[Ben at Labix Tracker]

New submission from Ben <ben77 at aol.com>:

Currently if I do any search with smart it crashes with this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/smart", line 194, in ?
    main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/bin/smart", line 167, in main
    exitcode = iface.run(opts.command, opts.argv)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/smart/interface.py", line 53, in run
    result = _command.main(self._ctrl, opts)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/smart/commands/query.py", line 283, in main
    if pattern.search(info.getDescription()):
TypeError: expected string or buffer

Apparently the fc4 dhcdbd package has an empty description that is translated
into a None in smart. Therefore any search crashes it. I don't know if this is
really a packaging error, but a quick fix would be a check before calling
pattern.search. Simply change line 238 to:
if info.getDescription() and pattern.search(info.getDescription()):
