Unless there's some failure mode I haven't seen with the same symptom,  
somehow your easy_install process managed to find a distribution of  
zope.app.publisher 3.5.0a2 (which only exists AFAIK on the cheeseshop)  
that has a dependency on zope.traversing>=3.5.0a1.dev-r78730 instead  
of zope.app.publisher 3.4.1, which does not.

I just tried to do "bin/easy_install --index-url=http://download.zope.org/zope3.4 
  zope.security" in a clean virtualenv and it worked for me, so I  
suspect you might have missed typing the --index-url once.  You might  
just blow everything away and try it again.
