These are the facts that doesn't seem to make sense

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 openjdk-7-jre-headless : Depends: liblcms2-2 (>= 2.2+git20110628) but
it is not going to be installed
*E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
caused by held *packages.

openjdk-7-jre-headless is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

$ apt-cache policy openjdk-7-jre-headless
openjdk-7-jre-headless:
  Installed: 7u65-2.5.2-3~14.04
  Candidate: 7u65-2.5.2-3~14.04
  Version table:
 *** 7u65-2.5.2-3~14.04 0
        500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main
amd64 Packages
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     7u51-2.4.6-1ubuntu4 0
        500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages

joep at laguna:~/Documenten/Datab
ases$ 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

So "openjdk-7-jre-headless : Depends: liblcms2-2 (>= 2.2+git20110628)
but it is not going to be installed" but actually  liblcms2-2
2.6-3ubuntu1~precise1 is installed, and further, openjdk is already
installed.
