Comment(by JimBenes@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]:
 > 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
