The package uuidd is not installed on normal Linux distribution
by default. Applications require this package to avoid database
inconsistences caused by duplicated UUIDs. Especially in banking services
with SAP where massive UUIDs are created in a short time period, it is
important to install the package uuidd. More information can be
found in SAP note 1391070.
The uuidd
package can be installed with the following command:
$ sudo dnf install uuidd
The uuidd package contains a userspace daemon (uuidd) which is used to generate unique identifiers even at very high rates on SMP systems.
