I have the same problem, but the "emerge -av1 util-linux" has blocking

You must remove the e2fsprogs* packages, emerge util-linux and re-emerge
e2fsprogs*
This is safe as long as you don't log out, reboot, kill bash or do other
weird and wonderful things that require a working e2fsprogs.
Think of it this way:
delete your kernel image in /boot, do all kinds of stuff and put back a
different kernel image named the same as the original. Nothing will go
wrong unless you reboot|restart. Same with e2fprogs.
Is this the one where you need to fetch the files first, then un-emerge
and emerge? I recall one being that way but not sure if it is this one.
No, that was a while ago. This is simply a conflict involving e2fsprogs-libs
Doesn't remove wget
Ah, that was it. I was wondering why a file system package would
interfere with portage downloading.
Thanks.
