Dave: Below are steps I have done to avoid this problem on my machine.
Hope this may help in your case
1. emerge --fetchonly e2fsprogs-libs and e2fsprogs
2. Unmerge e2fsprogs-libs and e2fsprogs
3. Emerge e2fsprogs-libs and e2fsprogs. After that e2fsprogs blocked
problem will be gone then we can continue updating our system.

I'd already looked for a later version of e2fsprogs-libs but there isn't
one. Any other ideas?

[blocks B ] <sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.8
("<sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.8" is blocking sys-apps/util-linux-2.16)
portage wants to install latest util-linux but can't as you have an old
e2fsprogs-libs in the way. Solution is to upgrade the blocker first then re-
run the original emerge:
emerge -av1 e2fsprogs-libs
emerge kde
