tried installing its dependency. Otherwise, I haven't changed anything.

Okay, that last dpkg command, dpkg
--force-depends --remove apt:amd64,
worked.
Now then, can I attempt to reinstall my apt-* packages (those package
names that I listed before)?
I suggest you only install apt first, using
dpkg -i apt_2.6.1devuan1_amd64.deb
Most of the apt-* packages are still fully installed. Once apt itself
is working you can use it to help you fix anything else that needs fixing.
Next, to show you any problems, run:
dpkg -C
dpkg -V
The first really really needs to produce no output.
The second will report a bunch of changed conf files but we're looking
for anything that is not a conf file. If you see any please let me know.
Once any problems here are fixed we'll finish off with a rousing chorus of:
dpkg --configure -a
dpkg -l | tail --lines=+6 | grep -v '^ii' | cut -b-78
