Your locale seems to be set to en_US, and apt tries to find translations
of the package descriptions, which do not exist. I think you can avoid
this by putting a line with
APT::Acquire::Translation "none";
into /etc/apt/apt.conf.

Not even exchanging a hyphen for an underscore? ;-) The package is
called lm-sensors, not lm_sensors. Underscores are not allowed in
package names.
