After installing mono 1.9.1 dispatch-conf wants to change files in /etc/mono/1.0/.svn/text-base/machine.config.svn-base. I manage my config files using subversion. This change should not be done.
Could you provide your emerge --info too, please?

Thanks. I don't see how this is a bug (it would certainly be if the changes were silently applied, but apparently that directory is protected) but maybe mono maintainers see it. :)
You're right, this is somewhere between "bug" and "not bug". Maybe i should take it to another level and ask for a new feature in portage, like CONFIG_FREEZE="/etc/.*/.svn/" or something like that? I had things silently changed by some openrc ebuild and reported it, so i did the same again.
Sorry, my fault. Very, very stupid one. This bug is invalid.
