    Can't get any Unity Lenses to work

    I'm new to Ubuntu and am interested in getting some different lenses but no matter what lens I try (Rotten Tomatoes, calculator, cities scope, etc) I can't get any of them to work. I copy and past the exact code I need into the terminal and it runs the command but then at the end I get this message:
    Code:
    E: Unable to locate package unity-lens-utilities
    E: Unable to locate package unity-scope-rottentomatoes
    This is what happened after trying Rotten Tomatoes using this code:
    Code:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:scopes-packagers/ppa  
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install unity-lens-utilities unity-scope-rottentomatoes
    Any help would be appreciated

    Which version of Ubuntu are you using?

    This packages are only available from this PPA for Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10. I don't now if there's another source for this packages that supports other Ubuntu versions.
    ClassicMenu Indicator - classic GNOME menu for Unity
    Unsettings - configuration program for the Unity
    Privacy Indicator - easily switch privacy settings in Unity
    Arronax - create and modify app starters

    Ah, that would make sense as I'm using 13.04
