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.
