This rang a bell with me as I've been playing with the
PTK and sometimes got the same error (but not
after the end of the install of PTK - during use of
some bits).

This may not solve Mario's problem but is a warning
I think for others who, like me, have been upgrading
their Zope installs from the

Zope-2.1.x-to-2.1.y.*

sort of distributions. The lesson in my case: if you
apply one of these upgrades _DON'T_ rename the Zope
root directory like I did. You'll get all sorts of
path problems and errors like the one Mario reports
(again, I stress, this may not be the cause of his
problem).
