I've uploaded an NMU of util-linux.  This fixes the immediate issue.
I'll also file a bug against eglibc.

There's an additional issue with e2fsprogs:

texi2html -split_chapter /tmp/bt/e2fsprogs-1.42.5/doc/libext2fs.texinfo

This is presumably the result of some texinfo or some related package
in unstable being updated.  Note that it also affects the e2fsprogs in
experimental.
