The long and the short of it is that the OSSP guys need to fix their

which might band-aid around their mistake, but at what price? We have
no idea what side-effects that will have. It would not be unlikely
for that to result in an ossp-uuid.so that is subtly incompatible with
the core backend. (We've seen such effects in the past, though I'm too
lazy to trawl the archives for examples right now.)
