You can wget version -19 directly from the main Debian server:
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sysvinit/sysv-rc_2.86.ds1-19_all.deb
and install it with "dpkg -i". This version has a suggestion for a
better way to fix all links: As others have already pointed out in the
bug report and in this thread, it is sufficient to run "dpkg-reconfigure
-u" on the broken packages. That is a lot faster than the reinstall,
especially for you since it should work without net access.
