The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
port upgrade outdated
Okay, this is all fine.

---> Activating dbus @1.8.16_0
Error: org.macports.activate for port dbus returned: Image error: /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist already exists and does not belong to a registered port. Unable to activate port dbus. Use 'port -f activate dbus' to force the activation.
Error: Failed to install dbus
This is the actual problem. While trying to create the files belonging to the dbus port, MacPorts found that one of them already existed. Did you previously remove dbus without using port uninstall?
home-iMac:~ MyHiouse$ $ sudo port -fp uninstall installed
-bash: $: command not found
You accidentally pasted the dollar sign from the Guide.
home-iMac:~ MyHiouse$ port -f activate dbus
Error: Insufficient privileges to write to MacPorts install prefix.
You need superuser privileges to activate ports, but you forgot to use sudo.
