Hi Todd, and thank you for your report. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the issue that you describe. When I try to install sudo-ldap, I get the proper package installation warning dialog as shown in the attached screenshot.
Is your system fully up-to-date? Could you please retry and let us know if you continue to see the error dialog and not the info dialog as per my screenshot. Many thanks for your help!
