Thanks for pointing this out. There was some cruft in ZCatalog.py, which 
has now has been cleaned up. The changes are in CVS, and will be in the 
next release of Zope.


The method manage_deleteIndex is still there, but is deprecated, and 
will issue a warning the first time it is called.

You can use manage_delIndex instead.

Both are protected by the addIndex permission.
