Means ldap-utils is already installed. What are you trying to accomplish by re-installing it?

You need dovecot-pop3d installed for the missing file you may have to remove the dovecot-imapd first before being able to install it.

Code:
>$ apt-file search /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3
dovecot-pop3d: usr/lib/dovecot/pop3
dovecot-pop3d: usr/lib/dovecot/pop3
dovecot-pop3d: usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login
dovecot-pop3d: usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login
