I've suffered from this hal bug and downgraded to util-linux-ng-2.16-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz - so far so good. I then checked man pacman to ignore util-linux-ng-2.17-1 from now on. Between the man page and the wiki there appear to be two ways:
a) pacman -Syu --ignore util-linux-ng-2.17-1
which yields:
toad@deskarch 1002\9 ~ > sudo pacman -Syu --ignore util-linux-ng-2.17-1

Okay, so that didn't work. Onto method b) that is edit /etc/pacman.conf - here the pertinent stanza from my pacman.conf file:
# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
IgnorePkg=util-linux-ng-2.17-1
#IgnoreGroup =
But
toad@deskarch 1003\11 ~ > sudo pacman -Syu

You need to replace util-linux-ng-2.17-1 with util-linux-ng; so just remove the version and pkgrel.
