Why do you pin plone.recipe.zope2instance to this version?
This tries to install zope 2.12. Thats not a good idea if you intent
to run plone3
and plone4 is not yet stable.

Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, the answers are different.
So what are you trying? Do you want to upgrade to a newer plone version,
or do you have buildout that was working and isn't any longer and you just want
it to run again?
