Description

The util-linux-2.38 release caused an issue in the way gptfdisk detects libuuid. If it doesn't find a system libuuid then it basically generates a random GUID which is fine for the most part, but could be a problem with other operating systems.

I would recommend applying this upstream commit:

https://sourceforge.net/p/gptfdisk/code/ci/6a8416cbd12d55f882bb751993b94f72d338d96f/

Can be resolved with a sed:

sed -i 's/^#ifdef _UUID_UUID_H/#if defined (_UUID_UUID_H) || defined (_UL_LIBUUID_UUID_H)/' guid.cc
