of Zope released in Red Hat Powertools 6.2 (2.1.2-5) need to do so prior to
installing this Zope update. The Zope packages from 6.2 are located at:=20
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/powertools/6.2/
After you have upgraded to Zope-2.1.2-5 install the Zope-Hotfix package. To
install the update, use this command:

Once the Zope-Hotfix package is installed, restart Zope.
