Did you run sudo apt-get update first? Have you cleared the apt cache and redownloaded the packages? — Steve Robillard, Commented Oct 1, 2016 at 12:20

Mount the orginal image file

sudo mount ./2016-09-23-raspbian-jessie-lite.img ../rasp/root -o offset=$((137216*512))

Copy /var/lib/dpkg again to the sdcard of the pi and everything worked.
