It did not work out of the box for me. But I found this:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2001/debian-dpkg-200103/msg00043.html
So:
1° edit /var/lib/dpkg/status to fake dpkg is installed (yes it was
installed but not registered in this file!... and I lied on the
version number)
2° apt-get install
libc6 libcap1 libdb2 libncurses5 libpam-modules libpam-runtime
libpam0g libreadline4 libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 mawk dpkg apt dselect
3° dpkg -a configure
4° dselect
Best regards,
PS: at the moment, I have some problems with coreutils (operation not
permitted to lock directory /usr/share/info/coreutils.info)
