Then you run this command: sudo sh -c "echo 'export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2' >> /etc/environment" and reboot, and it always worked (at least, when I was running Devuan Beowulf on my desktop).
"man environment" suggest a different format for each environment varable, so this might cause problems.

The error message in qt5ct said that it ought to be something else, I think it was qt5 or maybe gtk5 (is that a thing?). So I tried modifying the command to: sudo sh -c "echo 'export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct' >> /etc/environment" but this did nothing. I hesitate to mess with this any more, since my system is stable again.
Anyway ... so once more, I stand at the door, almost there, but can't get in.
Now I am back to the same problem that irked me before; namely, either to get Open Office running, or to get Libre Office running and to change the color scheme of the GUI interface to something that doesn't cause me severe pain and discomfort (from looking at large patches white screen). I am wondering if I ought to try css, as I believe I still have E. Liddell's scripts somewhere (and his old emails with the attachments). Maybe I can use that to get my Libre Office GUI interface to use colors that are not so hard on my eyes. (I am not joking here. I get watery eyes, and eventually a migraine, after staring at a white screen for more than about 5 minutes.)
Apologies for length, but I was trying to recount the various factors that may or not be relevant. I expect it will get trimmed in the responses.
Any observations or suggestions or advice are appreciated.
