This is still a bug as per Mon 18 Aug 2008 in Feisty.
I marked all installed packages for "reinstallation". This then allowed the script generator to work.
But the script that it generated looked like ;
" #!/bin/sh wget -c wget -c wget -c wget -c wget -c wget -c wget -c wget -c wget -c wget -c " [etc .....]
This doesn't look like it would install any package.
So that makes two problems. 1) Script generator needs a quirky work-around user manually input-ed procedure to work, and 2) even then it doesn't work properly.
Note : See an equivalent (but more successful) function for debian's dpkg at ; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366
