I receive this error when I install the software.

Basically I want to know which space am I working on.

$sudo apt-get install indicator-workspaces

Package indicator-workspaces is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'indicator-workspaces' has no installation candidate

    As far as I know, indicator-workspaces isn't necessary anymore, in 13.04, because the standard workspace switcher icon shows which workspace you're in, however, you have to enable the workspace switcher in the first place.
