It's unfortunate that all of -contrib depends on that just for uuid;
it'd be IMO much better to have separate:
postgresql94-contrib
postgresql94-contrib-uuid
if the dependency is needed.
Also, the dependency is undeclared and added by rpm's find-deps. There's
no explicit RPM-level dependency, just a shared object dependency. So at
least some users will have no idea how to find this "libossp-uuid.so.15"
that we require.
Anyway - looks like it can be avoided for 9.4 now, even on old RHEL.
