If you don't specify either an index to be used for easy_install or
extend the versions.cfg from the above url, you get an undefined
package soup of everything latest. Except for rare moments that is
never going to give you a usable set of packages.

Did you follow the instructions at
http://docs.zope.org/zope2/releases/2.12/INSTALL.html?

If you use buildout, extending from the SVN tag or the index is the
same. But you need one of those two:

[buildout]
extends = http://svn.zope.org/*checkout*/Zope/tags/2.12.3/versions.cfg
...

[buildout]
extends = http://download.zope.org/Zope2/index/2.12.3/versions.cfg
...
