I had the same error message, but finally I could solve it or that's why I
think. I will do the final test with my real server this weekend.

According to those two messages:

There is a problem when you have ZClases that are subclasses of
ObjectManager because something changed in the new Zope. I
tried what they said there and convined it with some steps more:

1- Be sure of having a copy of your Zope in another place, just in
case this fails.

2- From the ZClasses that are based on ObjectManager, delete the
suboject references in the "Subobjects Tab" and save changes.

3- Export them.

4- Import them in your new installation and then add the subobject
references.

5- From your old zope export your other ZClasses and import them
in your new installation.

6- Install the other products that you are using.

7- Export all your old Zope site and reimport it in a new installation.

I know it's a really boring and long procedure, but at least it seems to
work.

Josef.
