What I'd do is: (as root)

that failed with the same dependencies problem, but what worked was:
# apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae
# apt-get install grub
now, linux-image, initrd and grub.cfg are OK.
# apt-get install udev apt dpkg

libva1 : Breaks: vlc-nox (< 1.1.5-3) but 1.1.3-1squeeze6 is to be installed
Then I made several tries with apt-get install, adding each time in the package list
the packages giving dependencies problem in the previous call.
At the 4th step, that gave:
# apt-get install nfs-common vlc-nox gnome-control-center update-notifier
which seemed to work, proposing

(the "remove" list didn't seem too harmful)
but after about 1 hour, it failed with

This time, I'm really lost!
What about rebooting now?
