As far as I understand - you "unselected" packages, but NOT uninstalled them. If so, try to look into /var/lib/dpkg. There you can find files "status" and "status-old". I'm NOT quite sure - I have NEVER done it myself - but you can try to copy "-old" files over new ones. Of course, make a back up copy first! Good luck. Let us know if it works.
