Maybe this file simply got corrupted somehow. What does it contain?
Here's what mine looks like:
| $ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc-bin.triggers
| interest ldconfig
| $ hexdump -C /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc-bin.triggers
| 00000000  69 6e 74 65 72 65 73 74  20 6c 64 63 6f 6e 66 69  |interest
ldconfi|
| 00000010  67 0a                                             |g.|
| 00000012
(note the LF at the end of the file).
