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?
