Try:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wrinkliez/ppasearch
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ppasearch
ppasearch gnome

Then find an entry that is similar to "Gnome Daily", "Gnome Testing", "Gnome Unstable" or "Gnome Beta"
Then enter the number.

I don't believe that this will work.

Check on the Synaptic Package Manager.
Press Reload.
Click on Mark all Updates.
Search for gnome.
You should see either yellow packages, or other packages with newer versions.
