Well, it definitely gave something else. Here is the output:
------------------------------------------
joep at laguna:~$ sudo apt-cache policy liblcms2-2
[sudo] password for joep:
liblcms2-2:
   Installed: 2.6-3ubuntu1~precise1
   Candidate: 2.6-3ubuntu1~precise1
   Version table:
  *** 2.6-3ubuntu1~precise1 0
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
      2.5-0ubuntu4 0
         500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
------------------------------------------
So ther is another version installed. Now I understand that it want to 
remove all packages that are dependent on the installed version. I am 
learning constantly!
How to proceed?
