sudo dconf update
Error opening directory '/etc/dconf/db/site.d/locks': No such file or directory

mkdir... then no error.

steps that might be relevant: 
mkdir -p /etc/dconf/profile
cd /etc/dconf/profile
echo user > user
echo site >> user

mkdir -p /etc/dconf/db/site.d/
cd /etc/dconf/db/site.d/

cat <<EOT >local.dconf

Fix error handling for missing *.d/locks/ dir

We were incorrectly checking for NULL as a return value from Dir.open()
when that function as bound as throwing an exception on error -- so
catch the exception instead.
