This is not a error message: just a informational one, that LEaP is taking
the first alternate conformer in the PDB file, and ignoring the rest. This is
what the message is trying to say here:

So, if you are happy with using the "A" alternate (most often the case)
then you should be fine. If you need something else, you will have to
hand-edit the PDB file select the coordinates you wish to use, and delete
the others.
