I add a PPA but the software does not show up in Ubuntu 11.10 updates nor Software Centre

Every time I add a PPA I cannot see the package I'm trying to install. I suppose I must be doing something wrong! So here's my latest effort:


In a Terminal I typed:


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jeromerobert/misc

sudo apt-get update
