John,

Check the "Basic" skin in your 'portal_skins' tool;  you will see that
it now includes the ZPT-based skin directories ahead of the DTML-based
ones, which means that your 'local_html' is expected to be a template
exporting two macros, 'header' and 'body'.  If you don't want to use the
ZPT skins, you can just remove them from the path, and revert to pure
DTML.
