broke dpkpg files :-( help?

[Bob Billson <bob@jix.nj.us>]

Messing around with my machine this afternoon, I broke the files in
/var/lib/dpkg somehow.

Although the system is still intact and stable, dselect thinks nothing is
installed.  How do I used dpkg to rebuild the appropriate files so dselect
and dpkg are happy again?

I seem to remember someone asking a similar question when the last few
months.  However, searching the mail list archives didn't turn up
anything.

Help?  <he asked sheepishly :-)>  Thanks.

	Bob
