I followed the instructions from here but I got the following error when trying to install gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme : Depends: gnome-shell-extensions-common but it is not going to be installed

Extra information:

Running Ubuntu with Gnome3

gnome-shell-extensions-common depends upon gnome-shell-extensions, which already includes the user-theme extension, and so conflicts with the gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme package. There seems to be something wrong with the dependencies in that repository.

Anyway, you can simply install gnome-shell-extensions, which has the user theme extension. That's what I did and it worked.

Change themes using gnome-tweak-tool.

In your Terminal, do this:

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions-common
sudo apt-get install -f

    Didn't work, could you also tell me what that command should do? If I know what I'm doing I'll be able to formulate better questions. So far nearly every google source is "do this command, now this one" so I learn nothing at all. Thanks for the quick reply though... – PatronBernard May 22 '12 at 10:16
  • hmm yeah :) , apt-get install -f will fix the broken pkg's(not successfully installed with dependencies issues also ). so easily we can fix them up with this . so i have given that to you . – Raja G May 22 '12 at 10:19
  • Okay, so it says this: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 156 not upgraded.

    The first time I ran it, it said something different (so it fixed something) but I still get the same error. Do I need to enter the commands from my link subsequently (in the same terminal session) or can I do it in separate sessions?

  • i have changed my answer , do it . i am sure that gonna help you . – Raja G May 22 '12 at 10:22
  • I tried that one already but it still says the same thing :P So weird, maybe I need a reboot? – PatronBernard May 22 '12 at 10:25
  • No need of a reboot. open synaptic and look for gnome-shell-extensions-common . – Raja G May 22 '12 at 10:28
  • It's there, I'll mark it for reinstallation. – PatronBernard May 22 '12 at 10:30

You may force gnome-shell-extensions-common package version to be provided by the same PPA you're trying to install gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme from. I'm wondering if you have different repos provide those packages in your sources...
