What happens if you run:

    snmptrapd -f -Lo

?

I suspect that the trap receiver is reading the file
/etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf automatically,
and hence starting to listen on this port.

Then it processes the -c option, (re-)reads the
config file /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf and
tries to listen on the specified port.   But it
can't because something (itself) is already
listening on that port.


Try omitting the -c option
