This is why the--force-*options should only be used exceptionally sparingly, even if you think you know what you're doing... Speaking of which, why did you feel the need to remove apt?

apt didnt work any more... I tried to install anything but it didn't work, I got some strange errors. (can't remember which one, I think it said something like "E:small apt database, try to increase the cache" or something) I reinstalled apt and it works now.

This link has debian packages for all apt versions that were in a Debian release:
ftp://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/apt/
First install libapt-pkg for the version you need and then install the apt package for your system using dpkg -i.
In case of conflicts, look for apt packages in dpkg -l and uninstall it using dpkg -r. After this use the above step to reinstall apt.

In case of conflicts, it means you installed the wrong version of something. Don't uninstall what's already there, instead install the correct version of what was removed.
