Alright... I'll give that a shot and see what happens.

I have no idea. That's why I'm here asking for help.
Anyway, I keyworded e2fsprogs and e2fsprogs-libs and now it wants to emerge 1.41.9, so we'll see if that works.

The very first thing you should have said was "I'm mixing stable and unstable".
Due to certain changed specific versions of util-linux, e2fsprogs-libs,udev and hal
have to be keyworded (or stabled) at the same time. |

Yeah, well, I know just enough about Linux to be dangerous, so some of the more technical stuff can go over my head. 
But the good news is that keywording the two packages and then running "emerge -uDp util-linux e2fsprogs" did the trick, so thanks to VoidMage for the shove in the right direction (sometimes I need more than a nudge.  )

I just ran into this same problem, also portage 2.1.6.13 on AMD64, and found McNerl's solution sounded dangerous and complex, so I found a different one. I found that while portage was unable to resolve the block by emerging util-linux, it was able to resolve it automatically by emerging e2fsprogs first (just make sure to not include util-linux in the same command, in any order):
| Code: | | emerge -av1 e2fsprogs |
This produced a block, but portage was able to resolve that block unlike the one by emerging util-linux. After that emerge completed, I was then able to emerge util-linux successfully. I would recommend this solution (if it works? maybe something is different in my setup) rather than taking any risks by unmerging anything.
My big question is...why was portage able to resolve the block when I chose to emerge e2fsprgos, but not when I emerged util-linux? I wonder if there's a bug here...but I don't know enough to report anything useful.

I'm a bit late jumping on this, because I only just noticed on a system 
But I only did:
| Code: | | emerge -1 e2fsprogs e2fsprogs-libs |
which solved the problem - util-linux was merged as the second of the three packages. I knew that unmerging any of these two would break my system, and I'm sure there is a better fix than unmerging them, breaking the system and then having to use a LiveCD to fix the broken system. Then I could do:
without any problems. Maybe I could even have omitted e2fsprogs-libs from the command above, but anyhow, it worked.
