haikuports: build-package fontconfig-2.13.1-4 broken

The fontconfig package is broken… looking for lib:libuuid 1.3.0 instead of 1.0.3??

problem 71: nothing provides lib:libuuid>=1.3.0 needed by fontconfig-2.13.1-4
+       libuuid-1.0.3-6

This is causing some major issues for the builds. Could someone fix it ASAP?

libuuid: Add v1.3.0 from my own fork. Solves #4266 * Now properly BSD licensed. — committed to haikuports/haikuports by kallisti5 5 years ago

We can update the bootstrap dependencies indeed, but it seems annoying to import the whole util_linux there when we could use just libuuid, for the two already mentionned reasons:

it’s bigger, and probably more complex to cross-build
it is under the GPL, which we’d rather avoid for core Haiku dependencies

So, there should be an option to use the BSD libuuid, unless there is a strong reason to switch to the util_linux one. So far the only reason I have seen is “util_linux is newer”, but that on its own does not seem to counterbalance the two problems mentionned.
