Things worked as they should in Lubuntu Trusty (14.04.2 LTS). So I went
back to Lubuntu Wily.

The bug appeared in a Wily system, which was updated/upgraded from an
iso file that was a couple of days old. I zsynced and flashed the
current iso file (Lubuntu Wily desktop i386) and tried again. This time
it worked from

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/unstable

There is a correct entry in

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mkusb-ubuntu-unstable-wily.list

and it was possible to install and run the relevant software (mkusb).

I am not sure what happened, if I did something wrong and can't remember
it, or if there was an error of this pre-alpha Wily system, some
temporary error at Launchpad or in the data transfer via the internet.
Anyway, it works now, so we can close the bug report :-)

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
  deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu wily-security multiverse
