Take a look here:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/gwibber-daily/ppa/ubuntu/dists/

You will see that quantal is NOT supported (anymore) by that PPA repository, so you need to remove the PPA.

The PPA doesn't support Quantal and should be removed. If you start adding 3rd party sources for packages, don't be surprised if you get issues. Not all PPAs support all releases.

What is the output of:

grep -R gwibber /etc/apt/*

Thanks

Can you help with this problem?
