Why does that file already exist and not belong to a port? Did you have this port installed before, then incompletely uninstall it and/or MacPorts, then try to install it again? Remove the offending file, or use the "-f" flag, like the error message tells you to do, which will rename the offending file for you.

Ans: Port installed before under OS X 10.5.
Thought I completely uninstalled both wine & MacPorts using MacPorts users guide (uninstalling wine - suod port uninstall wine) also David Baumgold web developers (wine for Mac - Uninstalling Wine and MacPorts).
Downloaded currant version of MacPorts for OX 10.6 following David Baumgold's notes.
Tried your suggestion (port -f activate dbus and got the following:
MacBookPro-2:~ jwb_admin$ port -f activate dbus
Error: Insufficient privileges to write to MacPorts install prefix.
Thank you for assisting in resolving this problem.
Cordially,
James W. Benes
