Definitely not, you will likely just make it worse.  The chain will
not go on forever and eventually we will find the one that is causing
he problem.
So now we need to find why liblcms2-2 won't install, so once again:
sudo apt-cache policy liblcms2-2

That should show something like
colinl at tigger:~$ apt-cache policy liblcms2-2
liblcms2-2:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.5-0ubuntu4
  Version table:
 *** 2.5-0ubuntu4 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main i386 Packages

If it shows something other than none for installed then post the
result here.  If it shows as above then try to install it.
sudo apt-get install liblcms2-2
