According to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358359 the fix is included in upstream 5.5.5 release scheduled for today.
According to https://askubuntu.com/questions/230553/how-to-prevent-so-many-instances-of-apt-check-running a similar issue has been around for years. Perhaps the original script should be fixed as well before it happens again.
For now, I run apt-get while monitoring htop and if I see apt-check going out of control I pkill it.
I hope a fix will be backported to 15.10 ASAP.
