Raspbian dpkg error /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File - raspberry-pi

Question

I have just installed raspbian for my raspberry pi and I tried to install fswebcam with sudo apt-get install fswebcam and I get the error:
dpkg: error: syntax error in file triggers file `/var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File'
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
I then thought about doing an update so did:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
This also produces the same error:
dpkg: error: syntax error in file triggers file `/var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File'
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
The packages download but can not install.
Here is the cat of the file and it does seem wrong:

I would prefer not having to re-install raspbian but I will if I must
Thanks

Answer 1

In the end I unfortunately had to format the sd card and reinstall raspbian. The output of the file is a lot more comprehensive now. I will put the contents at a later date.
