Title:
  libboost 1.58  fails to compare non standard uuid

Status in boost1.58 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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 1.59
