But you said that apt-get upgrade did not return any error, so in which context do you get the errors from the first post ?

If you want gnome 3.8, you need the gnome ppa and there are quite a few problems :

Probably something on your end, here is the error from post#1:

I would like to see if any of the other PPAs are conflicting with gnome3 ppa.
Open your software sources and UNcheck all PPAs except gnome3-team-gnome3 and then do another update.
The GNOME 3.8 PPA can break some packages (I tried it myself, broke Ubuntu-Tweak and some other packages:(). Try:
In the last command, make sure you see which packages are going to be removed before you press Y (packages that should NOT be removed are stuff like 'ubuntu-desktop', 'ubuntu-branding', 'ubuntu-minimal', 'firefox', and others):!:!!!Code:sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
Edit: make sure you enable the gnome-3 ppa before running ppa-purge.
@bapoumba: No, 'ubuntu-gnome-desktop' should not be on a standard ubuntu raring. 'ubuntu-desktop', 'ubuntu-branding' and 'ubuntu-minimal' should though.
