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?
Interesting. I'd try apt-get remove python1.5 if nothing important depends on it.
Before a package is removed, its preremoval script is run. After removal, the postremoval script is run. These scripts are in /var/lib/dpkg/info. You could inspect the script and, run it, but i don't know how messy or disruptive that would be.
fsck the partition
apt-get remove --force-remove-reinstreq --force-depends zope (IIRC that was already tried)
If that doesn't work, i'd manually delete all the zope files and directories, shown with dpkg -L zope. Edit /var/lib/dpkg/status so that zope looks like an uninstalled package.
apt-get install zope
Make a backup of /var/lib/dpkg/status and anything else important.
