[Touch-packages] [Bug 1456479] Re: PPA info with trailing quote in /etc/apt/sources.list
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 :-)

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1456479] Re: PPA info with trailing quote in /etc/apt/sources.list
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?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1456479] Re: PPA info with trailing quote in /etc/apt/sources.list
Thanks for the report! Unfortunately reporting it against apt is
incorrect as apt itself contains no program which "automatically" adds
PPAs or similar such. It just takes the sources.list content and
interprets it. So it was either you adding this PPA by hand in which
case its a user error (copy&paste maybe?) OR it was a tool (potentially
in the apt-* namespace, but not maintained by the apt team) which has
this bug.
Its a bit unlikely perhaps, but as far as apt is concerned main" could
be a valid component (also, because it is hardly defined which
characters could be) and the error messages it prints tell you that it
tried to get data for the main" component as it was configured to do,
but wasn't able to.
