Generating with the library

github.com/nu7hatch/gouid

uuid.newv4
and this line cannot be validated.
What can be wrong?
This line is ca86c268-ce1b-46f5-4917-c1fe16caa986

If you look at the sources of govalidator, then the validity of uuid v4 is checked with a regular expression
The string "ca86c268-ce1b-46f5-4917-c1fe16caa986" does not match because the penultimate segment must begin with 8, 9, a or b.
Conforming to RFC 4122 Specification
