This really is a case of user error.
Why are you creating empty files in the place where dconf databases are
supposed to be? Of course dconf would consider those to be corrupt. I
agree that we should deal more gracefully with that case, but it is your
mistake...
Please follow the instructions
Thomas, why did you wrote There is no way to create a non-zero binary
database.? How did you try to create it?
the Key File Directories section of the wiki Ryan pointed should cover

Ok, thank you very much (sorry for my impatience in the hastily written
messages above while I was logging in to vpn).
If I create an empty .d directory, and run dconf update it creates
61-byte database files and all is ok.
So this bug is similar to the other one mentioned, in that it is a real
Thanks Thomas, good that you got something working, updating the
documentation would be nice indeed. I'm setting back the bug to the
state it was in friday then pointing to

blocker but something we should really look at
