The upstream name for the ossp-uuid package / pkg-config file is "uuid". Many distributions change this to be "ossp-uuid" to not conflict with e2fsprogs. This lookup fails on distributions which don't change this name, for example NixOS / nixpkgs. Both "ossp-uuid" and "uuid" are also checked in configure.ac.
