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."

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

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

Cc Me!

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
