Error when using add-apt-repository to add ConkyForecast

[fhsm]

I wanted to install the Conky Hardcore PPA so I did:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:conkyhardcore/ppa

.

Everything seemed to work until I ran update at which point I got a 404.

After a bit of looking I found that /etc/apt/sources.list.d/conky-hardcore-ppa-maverick.list
had the following:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/conky-hardcore/ppa/ubuntu maverick main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/conky-hardcore/ppa/ubuntu maverick main

When I changed that to

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/conkyhardcore/ppa/ubuntu maverick main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/conkyhardcore/ppa/ubuntu maverick main

I was able to update without a problem.

When I ran update the next time I got a duplication error at which point I found that /etc/apt/sources.list.d/conkyhardcore-ppa-maverick.list
had been created. Removing the old file fixed this problem.

Not sure what the story is here. Has anyone else noticed the same thing and if so where should I file the bug?

Just posting for anyone who is still having trouble updating : Quantal and Precise not working for me so had to use Maverick!
