I don't understand what you mean here. I'm not trying to buildout 
zope.lifecycleevent directly, I'm just building out a grok application 
that, through grok, has a dependency on the lifecycleevent package. If I 
switch the dependency back to 3.4.0a, it does work.

That said, I suspect it's a caching issue where it's not getting this 
package online but in my buildout download cache. If 3.4.0 was later 
released as repaired without any newer version number, this could 
explain my problem. If this indeed happens, it's a good argument to 
release a newer bugfix version instead of a repaired version, as that 
would've flushed my cache.
