any ideas?

I think you're using Ubuntu Raring. Service life of Raring is over, so launchpad doesn't allow me to upload packages for it.

If you apply these steps (2 & 3), it was reported to work :

Code:
For RARING (13.04) :
If you need to install for Raring (13.04), you can use Quantal files, it should work.

1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:keremhd/mintcoin-unofficial

2. gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/keremhd-mintcoin-unofficial-raring.list
3. Replace "raring" with "quantal"

4. sudo apt-get update
5. sudo apt-get install mintcoin-qt mintcoind
