Summary: xplc over writes uuidgen provided by e2fsprogs

Initial Comment:
As the summary indicates there is a conflict of sorts between xplc and e2fsprogs. AFAIK most linux boxes will already have e2fsprogs installed which means uuidgen will already be present. I think over righting a system file such as this could cause a person to go down a false troubleshooting path, not to mention IMHO such over righting is a bit um, rude.

I don't know just how different xplc uses its version of uuidgen but would it not be better to use the one provided by e2fsprogs?

In any event, if the xplc version of uuidgen must be kept would it be to much trouble to rename it so as not to conflict with an existing system file?

Thanks.
