After merging the configuration file update created by diffmask [1,2], dispatch-conf raises an uncaught OSError. I'm attaching the console log; when dispatch-conf asks for action, I press 'u'. The configuration file itself is merged successfully.

Ok, I understand the issue now. It is that /etc/portage/package.unmask was once a file, and it is a directory now. Thus, when dispatch-conf tries to store the new file as /etc/config-archive/etc/portage/package.unmask/diffmask it fails as /etc/config-archive/etc/portage/package.unmask is a file.
I'm having the same issue, but I think in my case it's a symlink not directory. # dispatch-conf dispatch-conf: Error copying /etc/._cfg0000_printcap to /etc/config-archive/etc/printcap.dist.new: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/._cfg0000_printcap'; fatal --- /etc/printcap 2010-05-10 14:35:46.000000000 +0200 +++ /etc/._cfg0000_printcap 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,3 +0,0 @@ -# This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the -# /etc/cups/printers.conf file.
