Well, take a look at the util-linux ebuild in question. The relevant
dependency in it is virtual/os-headers. You mention 2005.0 and this is
the amd64 list so I'm assuming you have /etc/make.profile pointed at
${PORTDIR}/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2005.0. Take a look at the
virtuals file there, and it suggests the default virtual/os-headers
package should be sys-kernel/linux-headers, so linux-headers should
satisfy the dependency.
I don't know why it's not, but have you tried adding
sys-kernel/linux26-headers to /etc/portage/package.mask, to see if that
straightens things out?
One thing I /can/ verify is that util-linux-2.12q works just fine with
linux-headers-2.6.10, as that's what I have installed here, and the
dependencies all work out (as of yesterday, anyway, haven't synced yet
2day). That's on a 100% ~amd64 + a few hand-unmasked packages system,
up2date as of yesterday.
