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."

Port: gpsd added; digikam removed
Type: requestdefect

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

Resolution: invalid
Status: newclosed

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
