** Description changed:

  Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
  Release:	16.04
  
  The compare operator for uuid is broken for non standard (always return
  false). This  for example breaks using uuid as keys in std::map which
  uses less than comparator.
  
  The example program generates 2 non standard uuid then compares them
  with < > and ==. All three returns false
  
  Then it creates a std::map<uuid,string>
  Insert a string in the map using the first uuid as key, then try to access the second key value with .at
  It should raise an exceptio instead it returns the value from the first key
  
- This bug has been fixed in boost 1.60
+ This bug has been fixed in boost 1.59
