gnome-core depends on
firefox-esr (>= 30) | firefox (>= 30) | chromium
So you'll need one of the three installed, or create a fake
package providing one of them (with equivs, for example).
I'll reassign this to gnome-core then, but I don't really
expect that to be solved.

What I wrote before is that you should test removing both (the installed
and the non-installed one, in the same command) - that tells you
what the issue is, because removing a non-installed package means
"do not install this package".
