Yes

Yes

Here is the entry: ZGadflyDA (Installed product ZGadflyDA)
 
> And if it is notated as broken, what's the error?

It is not notated as broken or at least I can't notice it.

> is there a ZGadlyDA directory under zope/lib/python/Products?

Here the product of the 'ls' command in this directory:

ExternalMethod  MailHost   PageTemplates  Sessions     
StandardCacheManagers  ZCatalog     ZopeTutorial
__init__.py     MIMETools  PluginIndexes  SiteAccess   
TemporaryFolder        ZCTextIndex  ZSQLMethods
__init__.pyc    OFSP       PythonScripts  SiteErrorLog 
Transience             ZGadflyDA

Here is the content of the 

DABase.py  DABase.pyc  DA.py  DA.pyc  db.py  db.pyc  dtml  gadfly 
icons  __init__.py  __init__.pyc  README.txt  Setup

I gave a look at the README.txt file and it says:

<snip>
It automatically creates a 'gadfly' directory in your Zope var directory
with a 'demo' subdirectory, which provides a demo database.
<snip>

I gave a look at the var/gadfly dir but it is empty (a problem of
permissions? var has got the sticky bit on and it is owned by root).

Any hints?

Also, again, this problem does not occur with version 2.5.1. I follow
the *same* steps and it work really well (the gadfly dir has got a demo
dir with these two files: demo.gfd  ELVIS_SIGHTINGS.grl).

Well ... thanks a lot,
-Gabriele
