I also ran in to this problem when I tried to upgrade my system from
precise to quantal. After hitting this bug and having the upgrade fail I
wasn't able to fix my system easily with confidence that I'd fixed
things, so I had to revert to backups. Fortunately this also means that
I can definitively say that the oddities/errors in
/var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File existed prior to starting the upgrade. I'll
attach a copy of that file from my backup of my system as it was when
running precise prior to the upgrade.

I noticed a couple of oddities in the file:
* one line says "/@OLD_MODULES_BASE_PATH@/immodules libgtk-3-0", which looks 
like a variable wasn't expanded properly somewhere.
* there are a number of lines that are the same other than having ":i386" on 
the end, which seems to be the main problem identified in this bug.

It's noticeable that all the strange lines seem to relate to gtk and co.
I guess the question is what the right fix should be: it looks like
these lines should be tidied up somehow, but I don't know whether that
would be better done by the upgrade installer or by a fix to the gtk
packages to edit the oddities out.
