Funny, I was gonna say the same.
Anyways thanks a lot for your time.
When did this get added to the list?

After all that dodging, found this on the maintainers github:
We may have tried that suggestion, but not properly carried it out. Listing all the actual packages may be needed.
sudo apt remove --purge emacs-gtk

Thanks a lot. Looks like emacs-gtk was indeed the culprit.
I ran
sudo apt purge emacs emacs23 emacs24 emacs25 emacs26 emacs-bin-common emacs-common emacs-el emacs-gtk
for good measure. And all seems working now and I am a happy man
Hah, that was to indicate any package results in dependency issue as apt was stuck in emacs dependency loop
I just love stackechange, makes one more zen
Anyways thanks again for your time, very appreciated

This is one of those that in hindsight seems so obvious.
But man, this thread was vexxing.
I am just glad your terminal is back to being operational for installs and removals again.
Are you uhhh... going to try installing emacs, now?
Because if so, I think it might be the perfect time for me to take a vacation.
To Alaska.
Far north Alaska.
