That doesn't look like error output to me. It looks like portage normal
info output, where portage assumes everyone really does want -vvvvvvvvvvv

It' not telling you it needs all those versions, it's telling you why
you need util-linux. Then it list (verbosely) all the packages that pull
it in, and helpfully adds the full selection criteria for everything
direct from the ebuild.

Your real blocker is above that verbose stuff in lines having "B"
between the [] at the left column
