How about "apt-get -u install scrollkeeper" from root. And run "dpkg --purge gnome-core" again. If worst comes worst, edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/gnome-core.postrm by editor and disable scrollkeeper-update command by prepending it with "#" mark as: #if [ "$1" = "remove" ]; then # scrollkeeper-update #fi Then run "dpkg --purge gnome-core".
