That should have been lower case amd64 I think, and since you have
installed the 64 bit Ubuntu that should show the same as liblcms2-2.

There are in fact two versions of that package that you can install,
the 64 bit version, which is what you have, and the 386 version which
is what wine seems to want.  So I suggest trying
sudo apt-get install liblcms2-2:i386

Can I just re-check that you have done
sudo apt-get install -f

Can you post the result of that.  Also do the install above though.
