apk abort, util-linux-2.36-r0

[spartacus]

i have to limit util-linux to version 2.36-r0 (apk add util-linux=2.36-r0) to prevent apk from aborting upgrade.  Otherwise it tries to upgrade to util-linux-2.36.2-r2, which results in a conflict.  I had several similar upgrade issues which I was able to correct by removing obsolete programs; however, I have failed to locate the program requiring util-linux-2.36-r0.  Has anyone else had or solved this conflict?
