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.
