FWIW, I never had any issues with Zope on Woody, ran quite good
actually. It's when I upgraded to Sarge that the Zope fun began, at least for me.
I don't think you're having a problem installing zope, because, it's
trying to start. What you're having is an issue with a default instance.
I had that issue as well when I upgraded from a working Zope in Woody, to
the one in Sarge.
Anyway, for creating the default instance for Zope, you need to as root
issue the following command: 'zopectl -a default' (follow the prompts) then
afterwards, 'zopectl start'.
In terms of the "update-alternatives", sorry I can't help there. But did
you try a search on Google with the error term? I find that often helps,
or even search the list archives for that term. HTH.
