This must have been one of the packages you ftp-d across and used dpkg 
on. Dpkg can't fix dependencies, it can only complain about them.  The 
answer is to get your apt sources sorted out, as previously discussed.  
Then you just do

apt-get install whateverpackageitwas

and it'll fetch all the packages you need to resolve dependencies.

Can you get to the internet from your Debian box?  If so, add the online 
sources after adding the CDs.  So long as they are listed after the CDs 
apt will fetch the updated packages from online but unchanged packages 
from CD.
