Argh. For some reason which I can NOT explain. my libuuid.so.1 symlink was not pointing to libuuid.so.1.3.0 but to a file called libuuid.so.1.3.0.original
And i just found libblkid is similarly redirected. I remade the symlinks (and deleted those bogus files) and it all works now. Sorry for the false report. But thank you for the help, it made it obvious what the problem was. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to util-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1869127 Title: after upgrade uuidgen crashes, complaining about version of libuuid.1 Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I execute uuidgen and get: $ uuidgen uuidgen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libuuid.so.1: version `UUID_2.31' not found (required by uuidgen I tried: steven@steven-ge40:~$ sudo apt-get clean steven@steven-ge40:~$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall libuuid1 Reading package lists...
