This is a filename collision. Two packages are trying to install files 
with the same name to the same directory "/opt/wine-devel-bin/wine". 
That's a basic no-no in packaging. Apt won't copy over the wine file 
installed by the i386 package with the one from amd64.  Normally the 
amd64 version would name its wine binary, "wine64" to avoid this exact 
problem.

There needs to be a bug filed if there hasn't been already and the 
packages rebuilt which the correct filenames.

To solve this on your end, I would downgrade the packages back to the 
version that previously was working which I presume is 10.2~oracular~1.
