If you are using an ubuntu session (unity) then make sure this is installed
gnome-control-center-unity

if using a gnome session then you should note that in orig. post

There is no command associated with that package

If you create a new user & log in to that user does system settings look & contain what it should?
(it's not that you're just missing some items, the whole look of it is also wrong

Is ubuntu-desktop installed? (just a meta package
If not then what, if anything, additional would installing it pull in

sudo apt-get -s install ubuntu desktop

And just for info

apt-cache policy gnome-control-center

I thought so.

Not home now, will check as soon as I get home.

Well you're using g-c-c from one of the gnome3 ppa's & clearly it's not working correctly, at least in an ubuntu session. (3.8.5-0ubuntu1~saucy1
Why are you using that ppa?

[papampi]

dont remember when and I why I added that, may be yppa changed some old ppa to this one

so I will remove that ppa and reinstall gnome-control-center , see if it will be ok or not

It would be better if you didn't remove the ppa & used ppa-purge instead

Plus you have have all these unity8 & mir packages & deps of that aren't useful in 13.10, that 's where many of the other packages to be installed are coming from

If manually reverting thru synaptic then you must remove all the gnome-control-center source packages from the ppa (3.8.5..), refresh sources after removal, then re-install g-c-c & anything else removed that's needed. I would not log out or restart till you've squared up.
