Which exactly was this message, and which apt-get command were you running and you saw this message? My advice is to use aptitude which makes a better dependency resolving. Anyway, about your problem, you don't have of course to re-install debian, just to aptitude install <packages> those packages which were uninstalled. You can find those packages by examining: /var/log/dpkg.log
