Bug#422875: dzhandle: not removing manually installed product

[Jochen Pawletta]

Package: zope-common
Version: 0.5.32
Severity: normal


Here is the sitiation:

--------
root at thales:~# dzhandle -z 2.9 remove-product default ZWiki
dzhandle remove-product: not removing manually installed product `ZWiki' from instance `default', use -f to override
root at thales:~# dzhandle -z 2.9 remove-product -f default ZWiki
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/dzhandle", line 2394, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/dzhandle", line 2389, in main
    rv = action.run(global_options)
  File "/usr/bin/dzhandle", line 1137, in run
    self.instance.remove_addon(addon, global_options)
  File "/usr/bin/dzhandle", line 1902, in remove_addon
    raise DZError, "%s `%s' not installed in instance `%s'" \
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'kind'
--------

I installed the zope-zwiki Version 0.37.0-4.2 previously, which has
problems described in bugreport #413108.
Somehow I managed to install the product "manualy".
After that I want to upgrade to Version 0.59.0-1, but the
postinst-script stops with the "manualy installed"-message.

Because there are many problems with dzhandle, could you please say
which config-file it changes, so that one could fix the problem
manually. Maybe in this error-report?
