Indeed, that's because of python2.6 removal transition. zope2.12 which requires python2.6 (and will probably only work properly with this specific version) packages has been removed from unstable because of that. I uploaded zope2.13 (which works with python2.7) one month ago but it is still in NEW[0]. Needless to say that it is really unfortunate that zope2.12 has been removed quickly from unstable but zope2.13 has been staying for one month in NEW, thus providing no installable/useable Zope package from the official archive. In the meantime, you can use zope2.13 packages from there: http://people.debian.org/~arnau/packages/zope2.13-sandbox_2.13.20-1_all.deb http://people.debian.org/~arnau/packages/zope2.13_2.13.20-1_amd64.deb I will request the removal of zope2.12 package from testing because, as you pointed out, it is unusable anyway. Sorry about the inconvenience. Cheers, -- Arnaud Fontaine [0] http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/zope2.13_2.13.20-1.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
