[zope2-tracker] [Bug 499658] Re: Missing install dependency zope.app.testing

[Tres Seaver]

I can't reproduce the problem:  'zope.app.testing' gets installed via a
transitive dependency.  Here is how I tried to reproduce the bug in
a "clean" environment, including running 'mkzopeinstance' and starting the
server::

All works as expected:  I see no errors, and zope.app.testing does indeed
get installed.

Note that nothing in the 2.12.2 source tree itself imports or references
zope.app.testing, except the changelog which mentions removing it in
favor of a more minimal test jig.  We have it as a policy that packages list
only direct dependencies in their requirements, which means I wouldn't want
to add 'zope.app.testing' to the requirements for Zope2.

Perhaps at the time you tried the install, PyPI held a version one of Zope2's
dependencies on PyPI which somehow missed naming the dependency, but that
version has since been updated?
