If you can install _and_ properly run ash, then you could either:
exec ash
dpkg --purge bash
dpkg -i bash.deb
bash (see if it works now)
or
replace "bash" with "ash" in /etc/passwd and try to fix bash

I think you mean /var/lib/dpkg/info/bash.* ?
If you still need those, mail me and I'll send you mine. I can also send
you the appropriate bash and libreadline binaries if you want.
