When you post such commands I think it's always a good idea to also post
a link to the PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3

PPA description

This package contains packages from GNOME3 and their dependencies so
they can be used in Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty). This PPA is EXPERIMENTAL and
MAY BREAK YOUR SYSTEM. There is no downgrade process.

The 'experimental' et al is standard for just about any PPA (*Personal
Package Archive*). The most relevant part in that quote is:
*There is no downgrade process*. So before using any of those commands,
read, and reread, the last sentence from the PPA description. Then
proceed at your own risk.
