Anyone seen this error Plone 4.3 buildouts?
...out of the sudden....


Getting distribution for 'plone.recipe.zope2instance==4.1.9'.
Got plone.recipe.zope2instance 4.1.9.
Updating _mr.developer.
Installing instance.
While:
  Installing instance.

An internal error occurred due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a
recipe being used:
Traceback (most recent call last):

It seems the "setuptools" problem.
Which version are you using? Pin it <39

Yes, setuptools nightmare again :alien:

-setuptools==39.1.0
-zc.buildout==2.11.3
+setuptools==36.6.0
+zc.buildout==2.8.0

solved the issue

The other option is to use plone.recipe.zope2instance >= 4.4.
I think this was discussed in some other post here.
