I guess there's alway -f
-f --force
Force compression or decompression even if the file has multiple
links or the corresponding file already exists, or if the com-
pressed data is read from or written to a terminal. If the input
data is not in a format recognized by gzip, and if the option
--stdout is also given, copy the input data without change to
the standard ouput: let zcat behave as cat. If -f is not given,
and when not running in the background, gzip prompts to verify
whether an existing file should be overwritten.
if you have a copy of the man page available. ;)
