Please remember to preview and use WikiFormatting, and to cc the maintainer.

The error message seems pretty clear about what the problem is: "/opt/local/bin/gpscat already exists and does not belong to a registered port."

  • Owner changed from jan@… to macports-tickets@…
  • Type changed from request to defect
  • Port changed from digikam to gpsd

And in fact this has nothing to do with digikam per se.

  • Summary changed from install of port digikam fails see out put of dependency activation to activation of port gpsd fails

So can you tell us why gpscat already exists on your system?

Cc Me!

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to invalid

Closing due to lack of response. Please either manually remove the file that already exists, or force the activation to have MacPorts do it for you, e.g.

sudo port -f activate gpsd
