I made a total list of what has been removed, needed to put it into a seperate post because of the character limit
I can see I have lost some stuff in the phone apps gui so I obviously need to install stuff. Seems to be either malware or a bug.
Should I just apt-get install everything from the list?
EDIT:
OK I apt-get installed everything on the list and seem to have recovered my missing applications.
Still very concerning this whole issue.

It would only be removing deprecated dependencies, that's how a package manager works.
I guess it's possible some of the those dependencies might still be needed by other apps.
That's always a possibility.... but then onus then is more on the app maintainer...
*edit*
Noticed that second list, okay that's weird...
You had to have done something else before installing locate.

This has nothing to do with installing "locate" (whatever that is). You would have gotten the same effect doing "apt-get autoremove".
Basically, your dpkg database is hosed, and apt-get thinks that none of your packages (read: your whole system) is worth keeping..
Have you played with apt-get before this? what did you do?

To determine if a package is installed:
dpkg -l <package name> OR
dpkg -l | grep <package name> (the "-l" is a small L)
Installed indicates with a "ii" and un-installed with "un" in-front of the package.
If output is empty then it doesn't exist in the repo, & needs to be installed via browser.
To see packages a package depends on (dependencies):
apt-cache showpkg <package name>
Supposedly an up-to-date list of all of Harmattan's packages

Python2.6, Ipython, python-numpy, Build-essentials, wake up on lan, vim, bash, wget, git and rsync. Before installing some of these I used N9tweak to add a couple of sources and did an apt-get update. I guess that is it. Any idea how I can get my system back into working order?
Edit: Not all of my Icons returned. I regained the store, ovi music, twitter and Skype. I can however see that I do not have an icon for contacts.
Edit2:
Here is my immediate history
apt-get install build-essential
6 gcc --version
7 apt-cache search atlas
8 apt-cache search scipy
9 apt-cache search openvpn
10 apt-cache search vpn
11 exit
12 apt-get install git
13 apt-cache search rsync
14 apt-get install rsync
15 exit
16 apt-get install locate
Actually hardly done anything on the phone between installin rsync and locate as it was home all day (didn't have a sim)
Basically Installed Sim, did some web browsing, looked at some RSS feeds, looked at some webmail, clicked on N9Tweak from GUI (had only used from command line yesterday) and wanted to see what happened from GUI. It loaded the command line and I exited straight away. I activated swype keyboard and watched some youtube vids. The history above is from my ssh connection. I did entre the terminal through the phone when first attempting to use the software and had a little play to see if swype was any good for the terminal, then I tried apt-cache search locate and then I apt-get install locate and that is it.

I don't see how anything you've done (if that's it) would cause a prob

Edit it is the Harmattan SDK repository and the community RZR and SDK repository.
Edit 2:
OK did a bit more experimenting. I removed the source and did an apt-get update
apt-get install python-pygame (as an experiment)
It didn't install, but it worked fine.
Then I re-enabled the repositories and did an
apt-get update
apt-get install locate (didn't install but same problem)
So then I tried
apt-get install python-pygame
It worked as it should, I didn't install the app
So then I tried
apt-get autoremove
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.
So that worked as it should, so the real problem is with installing
locate then.
Edit 3: Need to go to sleep now as I have work tomorrow, but I still need to regain the icon for contacts? Anybody have an idea how to do this. I have reinstalled contacts by the way, but unlike the other apps (at least that I have noticed) contants is no longer availble from the GUI.
Edit 4: I just tried contacts from the command line, so I am able to load it from there.

My phone would not boot after rebooting, when my sim was activated. I reflashed the phone so it is back to how it should be. It is a bit annoying that a Windows computer was required (at least it said it was in the guide I followed) to download the firmware. No Windows computers in my house and I was charging around everywhere at work trying to find someone (who hadn't left yet) who uses Windows. I eventially manged to find someone so all was good.
Anyway, back to the issue could anybody else confirm whether they have the same problem on their phone. I had both sources in n9tweak added then
apt-get update
and apt-get install locate
Obviously don't press 'y' when it asks do you want to install. If it says it wants to remove a few thousand files obviously there is a problem and we need to report it.

@TheStatsMan,
It could be that this "locate" package has the dependencies (very) wrong, or lists a critical system package as conflicting, or who knows what.
Can you do:
# apt-cache showpkg locate
and post the results?
-> or post a link to the .deb

I just purchased an N9, which I received yesterday. Anyway when installing locate from the command line, I get the following
Am I correct in assuming that this software should not be removed? Do i manually need to go through and re-install the 20 or so apps that appeared to be removed. Slightly concerned that if I reboot my phone it will be stuffed.
Example the first thing removed said
Removing mp-harmattan-005-pr
