I hit this today while using apt 1.0.1ubuntu2 for amd64 compiled on Aug  1 2015 19:20:48.  The Debian bug says that this has been fixed in apt/1.1~exp4 and apt/1.0.9.8.  Any chance of these getting pulled into Ubuntu LTS to avoid this ongoing crash?  
Is there anything I could try and do on my system to avoid hitting this?
