They didn't transition apt* to gcc5
Maybe it should be considered to use 1.0.10.2 from Debian Stretch, installing  here fixes this  - 
apt_1.0.10.2     
apt-utils_1.0.10.2
apt-transport-https_1.0.10.2  
libapt-pkg4.16_1.0.10.2

Otherwise some cherry picks or just wait for 16.04 which possibly could
get more attention during dev, ect.

Title:
  Long descriptions missing from apt cache - affects software-center etc

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  apt 1.0.9.10ubuntu6 and 1.0.9.10ubuntu7 - ubuntu wily

  It appears that on wily the long package descriptions are missing from
  the apt-cache. As a result of this bug full package descriptions are
  missing (amongst others) in software-center, update-manager, synaptic
  etc.

  The files like /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu
  .com_ubuntu_dists_wily_universe_i18n_Translation-en do exist with a
  recent timestamp, so it looks the downloading of the translations has
  taken place.

  Using the python bindings cache['gimp'].candidate.description returns
  an empty string.

  Apt-cache also seems to be missing the 'Description-en' key:
