okay, apparently that got rid of the 'bits' error but now I get : ImportError: No module named _sha256 I tried to apt-get install it but no dice doing that.

I did that for the bits error but there were only four files to reinstall. On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 8:26 PM, John wrote: > Your missing dependencies that plone needs to build properly.
