 '''MacOS 10.9.2
 Xcode 5.1.1
 Digikam''' : Digital photo management program to import, organize,
 enhance, search and export your digital images.
 I try to install digikam by :

 {{{
 sudo port install -v digikam +debug
 }}}

 First I receive that :
 {{{
 --->  Computing dependencies for digikam
 }}}

 But very quickly I receive these informations :

 {{{
 Error: active_variants:
 Error: invalid port depspec 'path:lib/pkgconfig/cairo.pc:cairo'
 Error:   expecting either: port or (bin:lib:path):foo:port
 }}}

 What's mean ? What can I do ?

 Thank a lot for any help.

Comment:

 That's strange. The depspec "`path:lib/pkgconfig/cairo.pc:cairo`" ''is''
 of the form "`(bin:lib:path):foo:port`" so I don't know what it's
 complaining about. I'm also not certain which port (digikam, or one of its
 miriad dependencies) is issuing this complaint. The formulation
 "`require_active_variants path:lib/pkgconfig/cairo.pc:cairo`" is used in
 many ports and hasn't been a problem before.

 Can you show the list of ports that are installed, by running "`port -v
 installed`"?
