I want to install gimp, but it fails

Error: The following dependencies were not installed ....

The error come from dependency w3m

I run 'sudo port clean --all' and 'sudo port clean w3m' and 'sudo port -d selfupdate' too the error the same

now I run only

sudo port install w3m

a part from the /w3m/main.log

Remember to use WikiFormatting when writing in Trac and to fill in the Port field and to Cc the maintainer of that port.

The portion of the main.log that you pasted was not relevant. The relevant part is:

sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence

So this is a duplicate of #35378.
