The patchset applied in ubuntu for the gcc5 transition wasn't complete;
I thought that it would have been synced back by now, but it seems not…
– I had added a few more changes on top of Michaels changes (including
the one Kiwinote referred to) to make it not only build, but also build
something passing our testcases (as the only partly working
Translation-* trashes our testcases). That is also the cause for other
recent bugreport like #1497534 here I would guess.

It is probably not the worst idea to think about applying 8965b2f8 (the
one mentioned above) – even if it is technically an abibreak, in
practice only libapt itself is using (and is actually able to use) the
symbol which is why in newer libapt versions the symbol isn't even
exported anymore. 130f34b7 should be applied as well for entirely
different reasons (even through it isn't a security fix in any way, it
should be dealt with as one). No idea where Ubuntu is in the release
cycle frankly as I have other things to worry about at the moment, but
instead of cherry-picking these it might be better to use the entire
release. They are well tested by now and bugfix only…

Feel free to ask me for more details if need be, but expect delays as I
read mail between two grape presses at the Most (pun intended, even
through mostly a my-region-only pun).

And a, btw mc3man: I wouldn't advice to install the Debian version
directly on Ubuntu – it depends on the wrong archive-keyring for
example. At the very least, you should recompile it, then the
buildsystem will take care of setting the right things.

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:
