Starting from yesterday I was affected as well.
Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr).
[ 1038.128029] apt-get[11829]: segfault at b6fe6a84 ip b767932f sp bfb951c0 error 6 in libapt-pkg.so.4.12.0[b758c000+144000]
Synaptic , APT, update-manager were not working
adding APT::Cache-start 200000000; in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00bugs solved the problem

I reviewed the changes I made to the system yesterday: I saw in synaptic history
balazarbrothers
libode1
libode1sp
python-soya
I removed all these packages
Then I removed /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00bugs, I rebooted and I did not get the error in APT.
It seemed to me very strange that removing balazarbrothers, libode1, libode1sp, and python-soya could solve the problem but I tired to reinstall these 4 packages but the error did not show up again.
All this seems to me strange and I don't know if what I did can help to understand the problem anyway that is what I did.
