The zope instance also supports some plone 2.5.x sites.
Complete upgrade needs to be zope 2.8.8 to 2.9.8 and plone 2.5.0 to 2.5.5.
I have installed the new versions using the unified installer. Does that 
make this impossible?
Should I just move this whole question to plone list?
I started it here because I'm having only this one zope problem so far...

Well, it worked last time from 2.7.x to 2.8.x. Not so lucky time I guess.

Anyone else have pointers to what I need to know?

When I search zope.org for "upgrade zope" the only relevant article on 
the first three pages of results was last updated in August 2003 and is 
useless. Google doesn't get me anything much better. There is no upgrade 
information on or linked from the zope 2.9.8 release pages. I found some 
generic info on the zope wiki finally, however of course it doesn't 
cover plone upgrades.

thanks,
John S.
