This is a bug in nautilus, that only happens in certain circumstances.
In all cases, dependencies are not here to prevent installation of buggy
versions.

I have checked this is not a problem; gnome-session will not start a
required component if it’s already part of the saved session or of the
autostart programs.

I don’t think it does.
