Is it possible that changing my /usr/lib/python2.5/distultils/distutils.cfg
may be a culprit? I use lots of software that does lots of installing and
upgrading of eggs, and I didn't want easy_install messing with
Debian-supported packages, so I modified that file with this info:

[install]
install_lib = /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages
install_scripts = /usr/local/bin

[easy_install]
site_dirs = /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages
zip_ok = 0

I'm told by those smarter than me that this is the right thing to do on a
Debian system. This puts installed eggs in local; perhaps the ZODB compile
script is listening to that? I didn't mess with any of the source from the
repository, so it seems to me that it shouldn't.

What's the output of "echo $PYTHONPATH"? Are you using Divmod

echo $PYTHONPATH gives me no output (well, looks like a single newline,
maybe). I'm not running Divmod Combinator.
