DPKG problem

This may not be the appropriate list for this, but as I'm not sure what the
proper list is, I will throw myself at your collective mercy.
I have "lost" my /var/lib/dpkg/available and /var/lib/dpkg/status files in a
FS error. Beyond the actual errors themselves, how do I recover/regenerate
these files? I poked in the archives and found some resounding answers
saying "Um, no", but I'm hoping I can hack on it.
I have said files on other boxes, of fairly similar configuration. Can I
hack on those files to get them into a working configuration?
I'm loathe to reinstall, as the archives say I should, because I've had my
laptop running beautifully for many months now and I have things just as I
like them.
Any ideas? Pointers? Help?
Thanks,
Matt
