Package pv installs a file named: "/usr/bin/pv" but package waon installs the same filename, too.
So if waon is installed pv refuses to install.

This bug has been reported:
326717 Same file name: "/usr/bin/pv" exists in two packages

Better mark this bug as duplicate because it is the same as bug #326717 which gives more information.
