OK, so now try to install libldap-2.4-2:i386

If it works then try to install wine32. If not use

 -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes

if it is not obvious why it won't install.

The option

 --allow-downgrades

may also help.

I don't think there is a bug here. I think you ahve just got into a corner with
some backports packages installed and apt needs help to find a solution.
