Nope, the problem is, several months ago the Natty users CAN install
gnome-shell from the gnome3 ppa, and in fact many of them did install
gnome-shell from the gnome3 ppa, whereas now they CAN NOT. The same
gnome3 ppa still exists and one can see all the package lists on their
web page, but apt-get fails to get any packages from the ppa with error
message :  E: Package 'gnome-shell' has no installation candidate.

Maybe the funniest thing is, there is no explanation on the gnome3 team
ppa web page at all, who just behave as nothing is wrong.
