You're right. And I found the offending sources line:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu xenial main
This is the "Kubuntu Updates" PPA, an official Kubuntu PPA (besides the "Kubuntu
Backports"):
https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa
Seems like the guys don't have any stuff to go to "Kubuntu Updates" in 16.04
yet, so they forgot to construct the (empty) xenial directory. Or something
like that.
Thnx
