I wouldn't do that. I would leave dpkg to sort out the mess itself. Presumably you have a lot of .deb files in /var/cache/apt/archives/ so just (as root) type dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*deb and see how it gets on. When it's finished, you might try dpkg --configure --pending and you can repeat that until there's no change. Then type dpkg -l | less and look for lines not starting ii (type /!^ii press return and type n about four times to get past the preamble). You might then use dselect to refetch just those packages.
