This is related to an API change on alchemy 0.6, this is a known issue:

http://zine.pocoo.org/community/mailinglist/archive/2010/02/28/developer-quickstart#mail-4B8AA365.9020806-markus-ullmann.de

It was identified earlier in the year, however now that alchemy 0.6 is stable and bundled with zine in 10.10 the software no longer runs.

Further to this, a fix is available in upstream mercurial, but there has been no release of Zine since 2009, ideally there would be a new release of Zine packaged for ubuntu.
