I agree there is much confusion here...

After doing a couple google searches I don't have a clear answer if you
need this or not...

There may be a dependency issue between gcc and build-essential.  So it
no build-essential you need but a package that is a subset of that..

Is gcc running ok for you now???

If so don't install..  If it is not running  I would install and see if
that fixes the problem


Luck
