Hi,
thanks for reporting this. I can reproduce this if I switch from wine-stable + wine32 to wine-stable + wine64. I'll (try to) fix that soon.
However the original reason that prompted you to do this ("Couldn't run winecfg due to having i386 library on a AMD64 system") seems to be a misunderstanding:
Running wine-stable + wine32 is perfectly fine, and should work (if you want to run only 32-bit Windows applications this might even be the safer bet). So what exactly happened when you wanted to run winecfg?
If you have problems now to (un-)install packages due to this bug, just remove wine-stable and wine64. This should bring your system back in a perfectly fine state.
