Currently some ports depend on UUID library distributed by linux. This
dependency is satisfied by misc/e2fsprogs-libuuid, which is a slave port of
sysutils/e2fsprogs, which is a set of utilities and library to manipulate an
ext2, ext3 or ext4.

Normally, UUID library is distributed by util-linux package, see
https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Util-linux

Taking UUID from e2f is wrong, because this isn't where it normally comes from.

I created a new port devel/libuuid which builds only libuuid part of
util-linux.

I suggest, exp-run is done after replacing all uses of misc/e2fsprogs-libuuid
with devel/libuuid:
> libuuid.so:misc/e2fsprogs-libuuid -> devel/libuuid

I found 21 such ports.

Or, if exp-run isn't considered to be required, this is fine too.

Mat, do you have an opinion?
