I had not noticed that comment and have come back to have another
look.  Of course liblcms2-2 (no :i386) is the one that you have a
version likely installed from the wine ppa previously, and it seems
likely that is causing the problem.  I think it might be worth while
trying the latest wine ppa as Nils suggested, that might just sort it
all out.  So assuming you would be happy with the latest wine (1.7) I
suggest

sudo apt-add-repository ppa::ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update

Then try a simulated dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get -s dist-upgrade
to see if it suggests any problems.

If it looks good then run dist-upgrade without the -s.

To take the ppa out again without upgrading, if necessary, you can
disable it in Software Sources and do the update again.
