Yes, this may need some clean-up :-). But, as MLH noted, Zope doesn't work
with 2.2 (yet). And we've got two Zope versions in the tree one that
requires 2.0 and one that requires 2.1.
That's part of the problem. As long as you have old software in pkgsrc you
must also have the (probably) old dependencies.
Maybe we could remove pkgs from pkgsrc-current which don't have any vendor
support anymore and/or who don't have a maintainer (or the maintainer
doesn't respond for a couple of months..).
