Just some thoughts, not really concrete, but probably it helps: Try to get some statically linked versions of dpkg, usually installation cd's have some (-> Read the install file). Perhaps you can build static versions yourshelf. Extract it on another (working) installation (dpkg -x ......), and just copy the executables to the damaged one. It is possible that a clean reinstall (after backing up configuraion files) is much less work, then reinstalling everything on this broken system.
