There should be more recent version of util-linux available to emerge. I guess more recent versions are locally masked on your machine. Could you have a look at the contents of the /etc/portage/package.mask file? Also, could you try running the command: emerge -pv "=sys-apps/util-linux-2.13.1.1" so that we can see what is blocking the latest version of util-linux?
Thanks for the reminder . . . my package.mask was really old. I have since dealt with it, and now all works fine. Thanks!
local problem then
not a bug
