Well I just found two more buggy packages:

  zope-pythonmethod (and zope-bytecodehacks from same source)
  zope-emarket

Regarding to zope-pythonmethod please read:

     http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/PythonMethod/

   As of version 2.3 of Zope, PythonMethods have been replaced by
   Scripts. They will continue to work, but you should use Scripts
   instead.

   ...

So it is outdated and I suggest to drop it via the following code in
control of zope:

   Conflicts:  zope-pythonmethod, zope-bytecodehacks
   Replaces:  zope-pythonmethod, zope-bytecodehacks
   Provides:  zope-pythonmethod, zope-bytecodehacks

I really hope that this will be done in the (hopefully very soon) upcoming
package of zope.

Regarding to zope-emarket I tried to fix all open bugs and builded
some kandidate for NMU.  Unfortunately this Product is broken.  I
suspect a bug in the upstream code which lead the the following
traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/OFS/Application.py", line 563, in import_product
    product=__import__(pname, global_dict, global_dict, silly)
  File "/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products/EMarket/__init__.py", line 12, in ?
    import EMarket
  File "/usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products/EMarket/EMarket.py", line 23, in ?
    from Globals import HTMLFile, MessageDialog, Persistent, DateTime
ImportError: cannot import name DateTime

I would really like it if someone who is interested in zope (well not
especially in zope-emarket but it just prevents zope to go into testing!!!!)
to do some investigation.  My stuff can be found at:

      http://auric.debian.org/~tille/zope-emarket

Just grab it - fix it - NMU it.

I hope to get the ball running for the latest Zope into woody.

Have a nice weekend

           Andreas.
