This can Only be 1 thing, you didn't add the PPA's correctly or you didn't update you packages list as buzz said.

You are using Precise (12.04).. ppa:gnome-shell-extensions do not have a gnome-shell-extensions package for Precise and for the theme it should simply be another command.

Try this:

Start by removing the useless PPA:
Ubuntu software center> Edit> Software sources> Other Software: Delete all the gnome-shell-extensions entries
OR this should do the trick:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:gnome-shell-extensions
Now add a PPA that contain a gnome-shell-extensions package for Precise:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/gnome3
Update the packages list:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
Install the theme:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install delorean-dark
Install gnome-shell-extensions:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions
Thanks for testing it on Precise lol. I will update the OP..
