The code in question is trying to match a version number from
a file called "version.txt" in $SOFTWARE_HOME, which is set
in the runzope file.  Check the runzope file you are running
above for $SOFTWARE_HOME, then open the version.txt file and
tell us what is in it.  It probably does not match the regular
expression:

expr = re.compile(
             r'(?P<product>[A-Za-z0-9]+) +(?P<major>[0-9]+)'
             '\.(?P<minor>[0-9]+)\.(?P<micro>[0-9]+)'
             '(?P<status>[A-Za-z]+)?(?P<release>[0-9]+)?')

You can probably get past this problem in the short term by
just deleting that file.
