Hi David,

I'm looking more into this issue. I will check carefully versus 14.04.2
LTS.

The PPA of mkusb has the same code for all versions (it contains only
bash scripts and configuration files) and the versions 'have always
been' simply copied with the copying tool of Launchpad. There is no
manual editing, that could have added the quote character.

One possibility is that the copying process of Launchpad could have gone
wrong (maybe a temporary error).

How is the data from the command

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/unstable

transferred to the file /etc/apt/sources.list ? The answer to that
question might help solve this problem.

When I try again right now, it seems not to work at all with add-apt-
repository and apt-get update. Synaptic did the work but the trailing
quote was added.

Could it be that Launchpad is not yet ready to manage PPAs for Wily?

Title:
  PPA info with trailing quote in /etc/apt/sources.list

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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
