Have you tried the easiest of them all?
  sudo apt-get install gnustep
It seems like this metapackage will depend on and recommend numerous
'desktop', 'end-user' packages -- here's a portion of output of 'apt-cache
show gnustep':
  Depends: systempreferences.app, gworkspace.app, terminal.app, price.app |
preview.app, zipper.app, textedit.app
  Recommends: gnumail.app, talksoup.app, viewpdf.app, charmap.app, wmaker,
gnustep-icons, gnustep-examples
  Suggests: aclock.app, camera.app, timemon.app, cenon.app, poe.app,
plopfolio.app, mpdcon.app, lusernet.app, grr.app, cynthiune.app,
agenda.app, edenmath.app, volumecontrol.app
(The ones under 'suggests' you need to install yourself, neither apt-get
not aptitude would automatically pull them in.)

For 'development' purposes:
  sudo apt-get install gnustep-devel
which has the following info in 'apt-cache show gnustep-devel', and will
thus deploy gorm, projectcenter and gnustep-make:
  Depends: gnustep-core-devel, gorm.app, projectcenter.app
  Recommends: librenaissance0-dev
  Suggests: steptalk, libpantomime1.2-dev, libpopplerkit-dev,
libnetclasses-dev, libaddresses-dev, libaddressview-dev, librsskit-dev,
gnustep-dl2


Aside from those, there's plenty of gnustep-related packages in Debian (and
therefore in Ubuntu). Listing all of the packages you can install does not
seem very useful.



I also realized that you've indicated that you tried some other
installation procedures, including manual ones. If that is the case, it may
be non-trivial to remove GNUstep: catch various files that may have been
deployed by the previous steps, remove them, and especially remove
/etc/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf. If you can throw away the Ubuntu VM and start
from scratch, only installing the packages as listed above, that'd be great.



If you later need to remove gnustep because you'd like to install it
manually, it can be as easy as 'apt-get purge gnustep and_any_other
package_here'. I'm still not going to advertise my script that builds from
sources, because it's not tested recently and it's definitely not tested on
16.04.

Good luck!
