You can download saucy wallpapers from the Launchpad page.

Graphically

Through your browser visit this page and download the file : ubuntu-wallpapers_13.04.0+13.10.20130924.1.orig.tar.gz

Then open the file manager goto the Downloads folder and right click on the file and "extract here". A folder with the same name will be created. If you want this folder in the original wallpapers folder you will need root privileges in order to move it there. (/usr/share/backgrounds/)

For terminal

Open a terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) and execute the following commands one by one 

wget "https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/ubuntu-wallpapers/13.04.0+13.10.20130924.1-0ubuntu1/+files/ubuntu-wallpapers_13.04.0+13.10.20130924.1.orig.tar.gz"

tar xvzf ubuntu-wallpapers_13.04.0+13.10.20130924.1.orig.tar.gz

sudo mv ubuntu-wallpapers-13.04.0+13.10.20130924.1/ /usr/share/backgrounds/

Alternatively

You can locate and download the .deb package for an easy installation. The installation process it will install the wallpapers at the right directory. 

wget "https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/ubuntu-wallpapers-saucy_13.04.0%2B13.10.20130924.1-0ubuntu1_all.deb" 
sudo dpkg -i ubuntu-wallpapers-saucy_13.04.0%2B13.10.20130924.1-0ubuntu1_all.deb

  • yeah it will do the work , but its the same as downloading it from internet , and manually moving those files in background through terminal, why "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-wallpapers-saucy" dont work.

  • Have tried to install them with the alternative way ? (through the .deb package). I think you should move the files as files and not as an entire folder in order to see them in "change desktop background"

    As for I know in ubuntu repos changes more frequently so as to ensure Open source GPL. It might have removed for that reason.
