oh, and it also deleted xorg, though i quickly reinstalled that.
i'm hoping to make everyone play nice together, but before i do that i hope
to back out of whatever i've gotten myself into, lest the machine surprise
me at next reboot.
help!!

Yeah, you want to reinstall all that stuff, unless you don't really need some
of it. (I have found speedcrunch to be a problem on my system, for example,
but now I forget why.) It doesn't seem to have uninstalled
desktop-core-trinity, but I do recognize a lot of those items as oft-used, if
not strictly essential packages.
There ought to be a workaround to get qt5 dependencies installed; if not, put
in a request for Slavek or whoever to create them. I requested some packages
(tork-trinity and kshowmail-trinity) a few years ago, and they were created
in a few days, and have worked great ever since.
Also, I would like to switch to ProtonMail or something similar, but have had
problems registering for an account. As I recall, it kept rejecting my
connection; also, I can't remember if they offer free accounts, or only paid
accounts. So I am interested to hear your progress in getting ProtonMail to
work with something like Kmail or Claws.
