What do you think? If so, > which package should I update? 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.
