Public bug reported:

I tried to install and test a PPA, which has been working in several
previous versions. But now there was an error, and I think I have
tracked it down to a trailing double quote (") after the corresponding
entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.

Anyway after removing the trailing quote, it worked, so

from

tail /etc/apt/sources.list
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu wily-security multiverse

## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from Canonical's
## 'partner' repository.
## This software is not part of Ubuntu, but is offered by Canonical and the
## respective vendors as a service to Ubuntu users.
