Can you give the output of:

sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a

Thanks

Why have you added the Gnome3 team PPA, you already have Gnome3 in Precise. You can import the key you missed with:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com F1773AF13B1510FD

But you already have Gnome3 by default in the release. What posessed you to add the PPA????

Hi,

To be honest, I have no idea about what I have added. I just wanted to
know how gnome3 looks. So when I went to some forums it gave me few
steps, and I blindly followed that.

Now, when I executed the command that you gave, I get the below result
and the updates are still not working.

Hi,

As you know Unity and Gnome are different, and 12.04 comes with Unity as
the default desktop. I wanted to try gnome as well and wanted the option
to select gnome at the login screen.

Unity isn't a desktop, it's a shell for the Gnome desktop

Hi,

Oh,okay. Thanks for that piece of information.

So in practice, I wanted gnome 3 shell along with Unity shell. I
installed Gnome and it's working fine; however, after working for a
short duration, I decided to use Unity shell because that's comfortable
for me. But now, I'm getting all these errors when I run an update.

If you want gnome shell install the gnome-shell package. Did you not think to search the software centre before adding random PPAs...... think about it.....

Hi,

I'm sorry, but I'm fairly new to Linux. I used to have Gnome before, and
the new Unity environment took time to grew on me.

What can be done now that is my whole point? Please help. :)

Unity isn't a replacement for Gnome, it simply replaces gnome-panel. Unity is a shell, not a desktop environment.

I suggest you run:

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get clean

Hi!

Thanks once again, that worked. I now have 13 updates, and I have
installed them successfully.

Just curious though, I still have two doubts:
A. How did you know from the result of "sudo apt-get update;
lsb_release -a" command that I have some wrong entries?
B. What was that key (F1773AF13B1510FD) I had imported?
