I think I stumbled on a possible solution. Hit CTRL-C, and then run
the installer again. Tell it you want to upgrade, and it should
succeed. Now run zenss ( $ZENHOME/bin/zenoss start) and then go to
$ZENHOME/Products/ZenModel/data and zenload -i <file.xml> where
file.xml is each .xml file in that directory. That seems to have
solved the issue for me.

I am also in the exact same situation. Possibly to throw more light, the
exact spot where this really stops is as shown by arrow bellow

Unfortunately I am not good at python so I could not sort out the zenbuild
script enough to figure out why it fails there.

Any help will be welcome, I also thought this would be really cool since it
incorporated most of the other individual tools I like so much
