It's permissions, though I am finding it to be a bit of a head-scratcher.

To get running again, I had to set the owner of the /var/lib/zope/var 
directory and contents to root:www-data, and set the sticky bit (chmod 
o+t /var/lib/zope/var).  But packing is still forbidden with this 
set-up. I presume Gregor and others will figure this out soon.
