Reposting Mitch's mail. I will do so daily this week. The solution is
simple, and worked well for me.

There is another way to do this that I've seen bouncing around,
but I don't have the link to it yet.
Downgrade your dpkg to 1.4.0.31 and upgrade your libstdc++ if it
hasn't been already. Make sure apt is at 0.1.9.
You can get a tarball of all these debs from
http://blevins.simplenet.com/foobar/
dpkg should still work, although dselect and apt are hosed.
After installing the files above, both dselect and apt should work.
Other packages may still have problems with the __register_frame_info
problem, but they are being recompiled and uploaded so they should
work themselves onto your mirror after a few days.
Hope this helps,
-Mitch
