uuid-runtime 1.41.5-1ubuntu1 (i386 binary) in ubuntu karmic

 libuuid generates and parses 128-bit universally unique id's (UUID's).
 See RFC 4122 for more information.
 .
 This package contains the uuidgen program and the uuidd daemon.
 .
 The uuidd daemon is used to generate universally unique identifiers (UUIDs),
 especially time-based UUID’s, in a secure and guaranteed-unique fashion,
 even in the face of large numbers of threads trying to grab UUID’s
 running on different CPU’s. It is used by libuuid as well as the
 uuidgen program.
