I forgot to mention that a self compiled uuidd does not suffer from this bug(?).

See the following transcript vdbergh@pl:~/$ sudo systemctl stop uuidd.service uuidd.socket vdbergh@pl:~/$ uuidgen -t ef485202-e275-11ec-b7ab-448500dea459 <---- (correct: last part is the MAC address) vdbergh@pl:~/$ sudo systemctl start uuidd.service vdbergh@pl:~/$ uuidgen -t f8e7b3ca-e275-11ec-b074-1d42fae212d0 <---- (incorrect) The same issue appears with every program that relies on libuuid. Example: uuid.getnode() in python3 is supposed to return the MAC address but this only works if uuidd is not running.
