I was playing with package manager on my debian squeeze, was trying to install php 5.4 instead of php 5.3 and now it acts like everything is removed, I dont see any green "checkboxes" on already installed software, all the checkboxes are clean and it acts like nothing is installed. It looks like I completely removed all the data about already installed packages.. Is there a way back? How to restore it?

Solved! For others with the same problem:
cp /var/backups/dpkg.status.0 /var/lib/dpkg/status
