Try to add the zope package to an local apt repository, like

    mkdir /tmp/zope
    mv zope_2.7.0*deb /tmp/zope
    cd /tmp/zope
    dpkg-scanpackages . >Packages
    echo "deb file:///tmp/zope ./" >>/etc/apt/sources.list

Then you see that apt-get does the right thing:

    apt-get install zope

    Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
