I'm trying to install marlin file manager on ubuntu 14.04. I add the repository 

add-apt-repository ppa:marlin-devs/marlin-daily

then when I 'apt-get update' i get this little gem:

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/marlin-devs/marlin-daily/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/marlin-devs/marlin-daily/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

And after that I can't find the marlin package to install it:

apt-get install marlin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package marlin

It would also seem that after that apt-get updates I can't get autocomplete for any package in the terminal, say if I type:

apt-get install gimp[tab]

I don't get a list of the available packages.

The last issue goes away after i remove the repository, but I can't quite put my finger on why this is happening and how I could get marlin on this machine. I've been looking around for a tarball but all roads seem to take me to the repository.

Any input would be awesome.

The PPA doesn't have any packages for Trusty. In fact, the last upload was more than a year ago, with the last supported version being Saucy. The last (non-automated) commit to their repositories was before the upload. Therefore, I would say the project is either abandoned or has shifted elsewhere.
