It is not possible to install both amd64 and i386 packages in parallel (without modifications) because translations files are *really* different. You can use dpkg diversions to workaround this problem. See thread in German Ubuntu forum: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/aktualisierungsproblem-wine-1-5/3/#post-4851602 (use Google Translate if you don't understand German)

@APT maintainers: Please rebuild packages from same source.

The discussion in the link I gave is not very clear, probably because the guys were working it out as they went. Nevertheless, judicious use of the various tools they talk about there did (eventually) solve it for me. The key in my case was to delete and re-install the i386 package.

This is [1] affecting multiple packages and fixed in gettext 0.18.1.1-8. The fix should be SRU to Precise and all affected packages will need to be rebuilt.

Scratch that. Since the archs involved are i386 and amd64 this is probably just bug #924628 again.
