The issue is that the packages Martijn mentioned above as well as 
zope.app.error were in 3.4.x beta mode. That means they were stabilizing.

Yet zope.app.error was split up into zope.error and zope.app.error 
without releasing a zope.app.error 3.4.0 final first. The split up 
should have been done entirely in the 3.5.x series, *after* producing 
stable 3.4.0 releases.
