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.

## respective vendors as a service to Ubuntu users.
