Did you read the debconf-pages that were presented to you during the
installation of zope and plone? I guess not, because else you won't
ask that question. Short answer: create a new Zope instance using
mkzope2.7instance, check it's config and remove the '#' on the lines:

products /usr/lib/zope2.7/lib/python/Products
products /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products
products $INSTANCE/Products

To have Zope 2.7 find the Plone Product. The documentation of Zope and
Plone will explain why you need to do that.

Looks like Zope2.7 finds an old 2.6 instance, but I'm not sure...
