That is strange, 6.4.2-2build1 doesn't depend on GEOS.

("apt-cache show grass-core" and look at the Depends line)


What version of GDAL are you using? Is that from the standard ubuntu repositories?
No PPAs in your list of software sources?

I see g.region only depends on PROJ.4 though, not GDAL..
(what version of the libproj is installed?)

As far as I can tell a 3.1.1 package doesn't exist.

here are the reverse package dependencies, anything look familiar?

$ apt-cache rdepends libgeos-3.3.3
libgeos-3.3.3
Reverse Depends:
  libgeos-3.3.3:i386
  osmjs
  osm2pgsql
  libgeos-dbg
  libgeos-c1
  libgeos++-dev

$ apt-cache rdepends libgeos-c1   
libgeos-c1
Reverse Depends:
  libgeos-c1:i386
  spatialite-gui
  python-shapely
  python-mpltoolkits.basemap
  python-mapscript
  postgresql-9.1-postgis
  php5-mapscript
  mapserver-bin
