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".

Cheers!
