What's the output of:

# apt-cache policy dpkg

1.16.18 is definitely too old. Need at least 1.17.27.

Fetch it from here: https://people.debian.org/~glaubitz/ia64/

# wget https://people.debian.org/~glaubitz/ia64/dpkg_1.17.27_ia64.deb https://people.debian.org/~glaubitz/ia64/libdpkg-dev_1.17.27_ia64.deb
https://people.debian.org/~glaubitz/ia64/libdpkg-perl_1.17.27_all.deb

# dpkg -i *dpkg*deb
