Oliver, Colin,
AGain thanks for your insight. I understand your remarks of course but I 
have insufficient knowledge of the debian package system so I duly 
follow your suggestions.
As I don´t know in which time zones you are there is of course a timing 
sifference. Moreover I was away this evening (I´ḿ on GMT+2, summertime).
Here are the results of Colin´s suggestion:
------------------------------------------------------
joep at laguna:~$ apt-cache policy liblcms2-2:i386
liblcms2-2:i386:
   Installed: (none)
   Candidate: 2.5-0ubuntu4
   Version table:
      2.5-0ubuntu4 0
         500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main i386 Packages
_____________________________________
And here of the same command without :i386:
______________________________________________
joep at laguna:~$ apt-cache policy liblcms2-2
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
_______________________________________________
And the same command with :AMD64:
_______________________________________________
joep at laguna:~$ apt-cache policy liblcms2-2:AMD64
N: Unable to locate package liblcms2-2
________________________________________________
So it seems to me that it´s an i386 package.
I hope this gives more honts in the right direction,
Joep
