Okay, so I thought I'd be smart and try the following buildout.cfg:

[buildout]
parts = zopetest
versions = versions

[versions]
zope.component=3.6.0

[zopetest]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
interpreter = py
eggs =
   zope2

But this still burps:

We have the distribution that satisfies 'zope.configuration==3.4.1'.
The version, =3.6.0, is not consistent with the requirement, 
'zope.component==3.5.1'.
While:
   Installing zopetest.
Error: Bad version =3.6.0

Okay, so the 2.12.0.a1 zope2 egg specifies zope.component 3.5.1, fair 
enough, so lets dig into what wants zope.component 3.6.0...

As the original error messages says, it's zope.app.security 3.7.0 that 
wants zope.component 3.6.0.

But wait, zope2 2.12.0.a1 SPECIFIES a hard requirement of 
zope.app.security 3.6.0.

What the hell is zope.app.security 3.7.0 doing being dragged down?
Is this a buildout snafu? Jim?

cheers,
