pycarddav is dead: 

http://lostpackets.de/pycarddav/
https://github.com/geier/pycarddav/

Upstream recommends khard as substitute:

Thanks!

I'm communicating with both maintainers (of duplicated ports: deskutils/py-pycarddav, www/pycarddav).

Note: The upstream maintainer, while using 'dead' to describe the project, has also noted that bugs will be fixed (for a particular backend), which is contrary to an unequivocal 'deprecation/dead' announcement.

From a user perspective, while the software works and could/can remain working with support (bugs being fixed) from the author, it remains valuable.

This issue not withstanding the port duplication needs to be resolved (independently, or at the same time)

Hi Kubilay,

I can resolve this if you would like to. Somebody created another bug# (duplicate now). One of them should be deleted.

Hello,

I've posted a diff to fix the duplicate ports in bug #225466

There's also #220368 which maybe can be closed since it's a duplicate too ?

This port was removed: duplicate of www//py-pycarddav.
