What "bits"? /var/log/apt contains more information.

That is probably the same problem as described here (including a
solution):
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1059773
You can always go to https:///bugs.debian.org/<packagename> to find the
list of unresolved bugs for that package.

I don't understand this. What exactly did you do?

This approach will almost never help. Why should it? Installing the same
version as before will just restore the same bugs. Launching a program
without any prior configuration (e.g. with a new user account for that
purpose) has a better chance of working.

Those are empty packages that exist only to depend on what constitutes a
regular Gnome desktop. If you manually remove one of these dependencies,
the "umbrella" packages must go as well in order to maintain a
consistent system state. What you could do is run "apt install
--reinstall gnome-terminal" if you think it might help.
