As some packages did not ended re-instaled on system because on the original host from where /var/lib/dpkg db was copied did not have it I had to eventually manually trigger reinstall for those too:
apt-get install –reinstall vlc
apt-get install –reinstall thunderbird
apt-get install –reinstall
apt-get install –reinstall audacity
apt-get install –reinstall gajim
apt-get install slack remmina
apt-get install k3b
pt-get install gbgoffice
pt-get install –reinstall skypeforlinux
apt-get install –reinstall vlc
apt-get install –reinstall libcurl3-gnutls libcurl3-nss
apt-get install virtualbox-5.2
apt-get install –reinstall vlc
apt-get install alsa-tools-gui
apt-get install –reinstall gftp
apt install ./teamviewer_15.3.2682_amd64.deb
Note that some of above packages requires a properly configured third party repositories, other people might have other packages that are missing from the dpkg list and needs to be reinstalled so just decide according to your own case of left aside working system present binaries that doesn't belong to any dpkg installed package.
After a bit of struggle everything is back to normal Thanks God! 🙂
