What package did you add?

I guess this is a similar issue. There might be other (non-zope.app)
packages around that register stuff for zmi_views menus. These might be
fixed as well.

Don't know anything about ztfy, sorry.

Hastily browsing over the sources there seems to be some 'zmi_views'
component registered, but I am not sure it is the menu normally
registered by zope.app.zcmlfiles. You might ask the author.

If you have no zope.app.zcmlfiles installed with ztfy, then you won't
get any additional menu entries installed with a fixed zope.file (when
it is released). But depending on zope.file should not choke your
complete project anymore.

Something bothering me is this cryptic import error that normally shows
up if 'zmi_views' is not available. I then get some 'Could not import
zmi_views from zope.app.menus' message (hope, I remember correctly).
This 'zope.app.menus' seems to be not an egg or similar but an
artificial package (created by zope.browsermenu?). This is confusing.

It's at least interesting to find other non-zope.app packages that
register zmi_views components. I think these could/should be fixed as
well. I would do that, if people tell me what packages there are.
