Bug Description

This bug results into a non-working "/usr/bin/rails"!

The package of ruby-activerecord-3.2 claims to depend on ruby-arel ">= 3.0.2~"
but the ruby source states "~> 3.0.2"
which means ">=3.0.2 <<4" in Debian syntax!
See /usr/share/rubygems-integration/*/specifications/activerecord-3.2.13.gemspec !
Since saucy ruby-arel 4.0 is in Ubuntu but this version is only supported in rails 4.0.

The best solution might be to offer a new (old) ruby-arel-3.0 package in parralel on saucy and trusty.
For trusty it might be a good idea to upgrade to rails 4 (ruby-activerecord-4.0).

If that is not possible before the release we need to downgrade ruby-arel to 3.0!

As a workaround I installed ruby-arel 3.0.2-3 from raring.
