Hello!
I'm hoping to get the most recent Mosaic release running on my site, perhaps it will finally solve the issue with the "Save" button not working... (I did find this afternoon that restarting the Chrome Browser allowed me to save the page. What???)
I can not get a handle on what's going on here.... many thanks if you can point me in the right direction!
that is: 5.1.5 buildout chokes on "'extras_require' must be a dictionary", installing BTrees-4.4.1
(apologies, I've been struggling with variations of this same Mosaic issue for two years, but as a very part-time thing... it's not my main job 
There were no other substantial changes from the previous buildout, and even so, what's up with BTrees??
I've been googling all afternoon, and can't find anything related.
There's no problem running the buildout on my dev server with the same basic setup.
BTW, I also tried running an upgrade to 5.2-rc1 but that buildout stumbled on installing ZopeDB 5.5.1

#
# Buildout Configuration File for Plone
# -------------------------------------
#
# ALWAYS back up all Plone/Zope data and components
# before changing configuration.
#
# Running "bin/buildout" will update your installation,
# installing missing components as necessary.
#
# This will update the add-on products you've added in the eggs= lines.
# This will not, however, upgrade Plone itself (or anything else you've
# pinned with a version specification). To upgrade Plone itself, see the
# comments in "Plone Component Versions".
#
# Tutorial instructions for using zc.buildout for
# configuration management are available at:
# http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/buildout
# Full details at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout

# Plone Component Versions
# ------------------------
# This version of the Unified Installer has the components of Plone 5
# preloaded so that it can install without an Internet connection.
# If you want to update, uncomment the "http://..." line below,
# edit it to point to the current version URL, comment out the
# "versions.cfg" line and run "bin/buildout" while attached to the
# Internet. Generally, you only want to do that as part of a planned migration.
# Note that if you are updating components, you should also check the versions
# section at the end of this file, since recipes or components other than
# those of Zope and Plone may need updating at the same time.
