The latest/pending update http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/lxml/2.0alpha2
causes a different error for zc.buildout-1.0.0b30 in fetch-newest mode:

    Picked: zope.testbrowser = 3.4.1
    Getting required 'lxml'
      required by z3c.etestbrowser 1.0.2-r75829.
    Getting distribution for 'lxml'.
    While:
      Installing test.
      Getting distribution for 'lxml'.
    Error: Can't download
    http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/source/l/lxml/lxml-2.0alpha2.tar.gz:
    404 Not Found

lxml-2.0alpha2.tar.gz is not (yet, temporarily) available at that URL. I
think zc.buildout-1.0.0b30 uses the package's simple index:
