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!
