[Zope] Plone/Zope on Debian Sarge

[Peter Bittner]

Hi there!

I am running a Debian Linux box with Debian/testing (Sarge) and I am trying to 
get Plone up and running. I have made a clean, new install of the whole 
system last week, so all packages are really up-to-date and there was no 
dirty installation that was updated.

I have noticed that the Plone package on Debian is or was somewhat broken, but 
there was a notice about that on the Plone website (download page) which has 
disappeared. For me that looked like this problem was fixed by the package 
maintainer.

Unfortunately still, after installing Plone (and implicitly thus Zope 2.7) 
Zope did not want to come up, saying:

  Zope starting all instances....
  '*' is an old/purged instance, not started

What is wrong here?

I know I have to set up a new Plone site (obviously using the Zope interface 
at http://localhost:9673), but how can I when Zope is not running.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers, Peter
