Usually, an image contains the package manager which it was created
with, so if you build the image with rpms, it would contain zypper and
rpm, if you build it with ipks, it would contain opkg and if you use deb
files, it would contain apt and dpkg.

Also note that we dropped zypper in favour of smart in the 1.4 cycle.

Its unusual to include dpkg in an rpm based image which I can tell from
this error message you're trying to do.

The problem is that the dpkg package for use in the target device is
referencing paths which are on the build system. There is some script in
that package with an incorrect header.

zypper should be added to an rpm image automatically, unless you select
removal of the package manager.

This sounds very like
