No, it's not. Look at your output from Show. "Priority:" shows as
Optional. Gnome-core is not a "Priority: Required" package. Its a
meta-package that can be used to bring in one group's (Gnome developers?
Debian?) idea of a base set of Gnome packages, but it is not essential.
The Ubuntu folks have developed their own idea of what should be
included as part of a Gnome system, and these would be the "Depends"
portion of ubuntu-desktop. If you have ubuntu-minimal, ubuntu-standard,
and ubuntu-desktop installed, you have everything you need for a
functional Gnome desktop, without installing gnome-core.
I'm going to assume this was fixed since the Feisty era then, and
reclose this bug.
