That sounds like a contradiction. How can the instance be in one place, and have a "name" of something else? Presumably what you meant was "The instance is /var/lib/zope/instance/default" ?

I'm wondering why etc and bin and log is missing from this list. Presumably they are set up somewhere else by the packaging stuff. This doesn't seem like a setup thats very good if you need to have multiple zope instances for testing.

zopect is in:
dannifannar:/var/lib/zope/instance/default# whereis zopectl
zopectl: /usr/sbin/zopectl /etc/zopectl /usr/share/man/man8/zopectl.8.gz
What's your $INSTANCE_HOME set to inside zopectl? It should be instance home directory, which contains the Products directory. If not, that would break things....

its not in ~/zope/.../bin like the source install docs tell me to do...
Could it be a packaging problem then? Why would all the other products (the default zope products) work?
Which other products? Other Products that are definitely in the Products directory? If you started zope not in debug mode, its possible it failed to install certain products but still continued to start up.

Like Alexander Limi said, the debian packages are a bit of a mess.

I too would strongly recommend, download zope, build your own Zope, then do a mkzopeinstance which will teach you about instances and keep everything in a self-contained area. Then unpack plone into your Products within that instance. We did this and it was very straightforward. You should do this anyway, as Debian fails to keep up with new Zope/Plone releases.

All the best,
