Exactly. "When used in conjunction with install". So why are you filing a
bug saying that it does not do something you want with remove?

You may have noticed that when you used reportbug to submit this bug report,
the program asked you whether it was OK to include a copy of apt's
configuration files. It defaults to yes. Why did you refuse? This
information is requested because it is important in diagnosing the problem.
Send copies of your /etc/apt/apt.conf, /etc/apt/preferences and
/etc/apt/sources.list.
I have explained to you before about filing good bug reports, as I'm sure
others have as well. You file a LOT of frivolous bug reports and feature
requests, and on the rare occasion that you report an actual bug, you don't
make any attempt to provide enough information for it to be fixed.
#164225 is another example of similar behavior (not that you ever bother to
look before filing a new bug), but the submitter did not respond to a
request for more information. Are you going to provide a more complete bug
report, or should I close this one as well?
If you can still reproduce this bug on your system, send the output of:
apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true remove libg2c0
apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true remove libg2c0 r-base-core
