Okay, this is all fine.

This is the actual problem. While trying to create the files belonging to the `dbus` port, MacPorts found that one of them already existed. Did you previously remove `dbus` without using `port uninstall`?
{{{ home-iMac:~ MyHiouse$ $ sudo port -fp uninstall installed -bash: $: command not found }}}
You accidentally pasted the dollar sign from the Guide.
{{{ home-iMac:~ MyHiouse$ port -f activate dbus Error: Insufficient privileges to write to MacPorts install prefix. }}}
You need superuser privileges to activate ports, but you forgot to use `sudo`. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48098#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
