Assuming you've already done a full upgrade of world, and don't have
anything strange masked/keyworded, I would try:
emerge --oneshot sys-apps/sysvinit sys-apps/util-linux
or maybe each one at a time if that doesn't work. If one at a time
doesn't work, maybe try to unmerge util-linux, upgrade sysvinit, then
reinstall util-linux. Be sure to make binary package of util-linux
before unmerging just in case it all goes wrong.
