I think I have accidentally messed up my Ubuntu, I wanted to remove TOR so I did
sudo apt-get remove tor*
That selected a lot of files, which I think is unrelated to the anonymity network. So I ended up deleting files that other packages need. How can I make a scan for the missing dependencies I have removed?

I believe the command you seek is:
sudo apt-get -f install
That should attempt to correct for any broken dependencies you have.

As @steeldriver notes and you experienced, the dependencies won't help. But with a bit of luck you may find out what apt-get remove did by looking at the logs of apt to be found in /var/log/apt/term.log*, as aptly noted
in this post.
More answers in the same thread point to further log files, e.g. /var/log/apt/history.log, which may be even easier to explore.
