It's not a dependency problem. You use Rarian top replace scrollkeeper
so Gnome depends on Rarian. But for some reasons Rarian can't be
installed, so Gnome can't be installed, too.

Try to install scrollkeeper (that removes Rarian) or fix the problem
with Rarian. Maybe somewhere in the outpout there are some hints
about what's wrong with Rarian.
