I'm not sure I understand entirely. but I know that 
zope.app.error/zope.error has been the source of errors before, as 
someone decided to refactor zope.app.error into zope.error and *then* 
make a final zope.app.error 2.4 release (and zope.error 2.4 release).

Perhaps we can make it work by upgrading to a newer version of 
zope.app.publication? Oh, but you say you downgrade it to make things 
work? This whole situation is rather frustrating...

Anyway, someone needs to dig into the history of all this and report 
back which versions of which packages we should be using that makes this 
problem go away. Downgrading zope.app.publication to an earlier version 
seems to be the wrong way to go about it. What about comparing with the 
versions.cfg of the Grok trunk? Does the problem happen there?
