Title:
  sudo-ldap not installable

Status in sudo package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: sudo-ldap

  There is a failsafe built in the sudo package that prevent sudo-ldap
  (which Replace/Provide sudo) from being installed.  See the output
  transcript below .

  Setting SUDO_FORCE_REMOVE=yes work just as expected.

  dpkg: sudo: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you request:
   ubuntu-minimal depends on sudo.
   gksu depends on sudo.

  Removing sudo ...
  You have asked that the sudo package be removed,
  but no root password has been set.
  Without sudo, you may not be able to gain administrative privileges.

  If you would prefer to access the root account with su(1)
  or by logging in directly,
  you must set a root password with "sudo passwd".

  If you have arranged other means to access the root account,
  and you are sure this is what you want,
  you may bypass this check by setting an environment variable 
  (export SUDO_FORCE_REMOVE=yes).

  Refusing to remove sudo.
  dpkg: error processing sudo (--remove):
   subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:

  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
