Source: fontconfig
Version: 2.14.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Please add a 'uuid-runtime <!nocheck>' entry to the Build-Depends
stanza of fontconfig's debian/control file.

Starting from version 2.14.1-1, the testsuite for fontconfig requires
running the uuidgen command which comes from the uuid-runtime package.
fontconfig does not list uuid-runtime among its build dependencies, but
it does declare a Build-Depends on uuid-dev which Depends on libuuid1
which Recommends uuid-runtime, so this issue only arises when
Recommended packages aren't automatically installed.

Thanks,
