[DRE-maint] Bug#595597: libcompass-ruby: fails to install, trying to overwrite other packages files

[Holger Levsen]

Package: libcompass-ruby
Version: 0.10.2debian-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts piuparts.d.o

Hi, 

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install because 
it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a replaces 
relation.

See policy 7.6 at 
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

0m23.3s ERROR: Command failed (status=100):
