Markus, thanks. I followed your recipe and mine is:

~$ hexdump -C /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc-bin.triggers
00000000  13 a9 41 c8 19 99 5d bb  b7 e0 f4 c4 7a ce 86 99

00000010  e1 9d                                             |..|
00000012

Mine is as you can see different but has also an LF at the end.
I wonder where this file originates and what is its purpose. I don't 
think I can use yours. I also wonders what happens if I remove it (i.e. 
rename).
