It seems as if there are incompatibilities when different versions of
packages that are built from the zope-cmf1.4 source (and maybe others) do
coexist. I cannot point out a special package anymore, but I had some of
the zope-cmf* packages that use a common versioning (at the moment 1.4.7-4
and 1.4.8-3, e.g. zope-cmfcore, zope-cmf, etc. ) installed with mixed
versions.

In the beginning, everything was fine. A few days ago I upgraded some of
the zope-cmf packages manually (system default is "stable"). Obviously I
missed some of them. This seems to have caused the error mentioned in my
bug report. (I found some other reports on the net that seem to support
this theory.)
After upgrading all zope1.4.x-packages to a common version everything was ok.

So IMHO this is not a kupu bug but a problem with the zope-cmf
inter-package dependencies. Maybe the upgrading of one zope-cmf package
should enforce the upgrading of packages that are build from the same
source package.

I am not sure what to do here - close this bug, reopen a bug for
zope-cmf1.4? I'm leaving this to you. :-)

Regards and thanks for all the work!
