            Bug ID: 251489
           Summary: misc/e2fsprogs-libuuid: libuuid merged in e2fsprogs is
                    outdated relative to util-linux
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New

The libuuid from e2fsprogs lacks lots of new functions.

from comparison of
new:
https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/blob/master/libuuid/src/libuuid.sym
current:
https://github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs/blob/master/lib/uuid/uuid.h.in

we could know that the libuuid inside e2fsprogs have not been update for a long
time. missing function list:

since util-linux 2.20
uuid_generate_time_safe

since util-linux.2.31
uuid_generate_md5
uuid_generate_sha1
uuid_get_template

since util-linux.2.36
uuid_parse_range

these functions might be critical for some packages(I have no idea how to find
them out).

I was encountering this problem when installing Budgie Desktop, which depends
on 'uuid_generate_time_safe'.
