No. Your problem is with this particular package.
Look at the script /var/lib/dpkg/info/gnome-games.postrm
The error message says it is trying to run a command that is not present
on your machine, so you need to make the script bypass the error.
The easiest way is to delete the line containing the dud command
(scrollkeeper-update), and any lines dependent on it. Then run
dpkg --purge gnome-games
If any other errors show up, repeat the procedure until they all go away
and the package is successfully purged.
