As MACBook Pro user, i tried to package offcial digiKam 4.0.0 release
through macports, which compile and install fine.

I tried to run "port mdmg digikam" as explained here :

https://guide.macports.org/chunked/using.binaries.html

... but compilation fail somewhere with dependencies. I think
something is wrong with macports rules somewhere and must be reported
to macports bugzilla.
