For me, it is very intermittant. It started of working fine, then
gradually got worse...
I used the same procedure as you.

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package util-linux has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
of sources.list
However the following packages replace it:
fileutils shellutils
E: Package util-linux has no installation candidate
huey:/tmp# dpkg -l fileutils shellutils

ii fileutils 4.0.32-1 GNU file management utilities.
ii shellutils 2.0i-1 The GNU shell programming utilities.
I am current doing upgrading everything (except perl), so maybe that
might fix a few things (just need to wait for files to download over a
saturated 28.8kbps connection).
I created a dummy package using equivs:
huey:/tmp# dpkg -s sysvinit
Package: sysvinit
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: misc
Installed-Size: 23
Maintainer: Brian May <bam@debian.org>
Version: 2.78-4
Depends: inetutils
Description: Dummy package to fulfil package dependencies
[...]
which seems to have solved the problem for now.
