How do I install uuidgen
debian
Solution
As Donal Lafferty's link states, it is contained in the package uuid-runtime.
Problem
I need `uuidgen` for my Linux shell scripts, but it's not on my Debian 7.1 net install. `apt-get install uuidgen` fails, it's not clear what package I should be using, and existing questions seem to ask for alternatives rather than the real `uuidgen`. Could someone with experience with `uuidgen` comment on where to get it, and why it's not in its own package? PS. If this is on the wrong StackExchange site, point me in the correct direction.
