FWIW, I know zc.catalog but I'm certainly not an egg expert.  But  
this message looks like you are maybe sharing a Python for various  
installations.  Are you maybe using your system Python?  Generally  
not advised for development work...try a standalone one?

To be clear, no release of standalone Zope 3 relies on zc.catalog; it  
is very, very unlikely to be breaking the Zope 3.3 release or any  
other.  Also, the zc.i18n is a red herring; that doesn't have any  
dependencies on zc.catalog.

In sum, yes, you have a problem, but I don't think it is inherently  
with zc.catalog.  The standalone Python is the only idea I have off  
the top of my head.
