I got my info from:

http://linux.die.net/man/8/blkid

"*blkid* is part the e2fsprogs package since version 1.26 and is 
available from http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net 
<http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/>. "

I also did apt-file search blkid and it showed up as e2fsprogs or was it 
e2fs-utils (I forget).  The system I was/am running was Debian Lenny x64.

This just shows how little I know about Linux (I've only been dabbling 
for 6 months or so).  I'll install util-linux next time the machine 
start up.  Thanks for the pointer.

regards
Simon
