Thanks for the continued help. Attached are the results of 'whereis python' and 'ls -l /usr/bin/python'. The symlink points to python2.3. And yet, the zope pre-removal script encounters errors in python1.5, which makes me think it is explicitly seeking and calling routines from the earlier version. More thoughts?
