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!
Gary

Title:
Package conflict check does not take Replaces field into account
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
software-center 5.2.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Description:
An attempt to install a new package that replaces an existing one will
fail if the existing package has the new package listed as a conflict,
even if the new packages has a proper Replaces field in the control
file.
To reproduce:
Download the sudo-ldap package (e.g. apt-get download sudo-ldap) and
attempt to install it when the stock sudo package is installed.
Software center will refuse to install with the following error
message:
Breaks existing package sudo conflict: sudo-ldap ()
Works fine when installed via apt-get.
