I'm trying to use paster to create a dexterity content type. I did a new standalone installation of Plone 4.3.4 in a target folder that's different from the one I was previously working with so it was buildout-cache would be clean.
The OS I am using is Ubuntu 14.04. So in my downloads folder, in the installer's folder I extracted, I type in the terminal:
./install.sh --target=/home/myusername/Plone2 --instance=MyProject standalone
That installs correctly. Then I go to MyProject in Plone2. I edit the buildout to change my password, and the run buildout:
buildout -c develop.cfg
Then I goto the src folder and create a new product with zopeskel:
../bin/zopeskel dexterity project.house
Then I edit my buildout and under eggs I add project.house and under develop, src/project.house. Then I run buildout again and it builds out correctly. Then in the project.house folder under sources, I try running paster.
../../bin/paster addcontent dexterity_content
Then I end up with an error:

ImportError: No module named dexterity.localcommands.dexterity
I did recently install Plone 4.3.6 in another target folder. Unfortunately, I never tried using paster because I was creating dexterity content through the web. Could switching to 4.3.6 have ruined everything?
My earlier target folder works still though.
Throwing ""ImportError: No module named dexterity.localcommands.dexterity" + "plone" into a searchengine leads straight to Plone 4.3.4 - ImportError: No module named dexterity.localcommands.dexterity where S. McMahon states it's a bug reported in https://github.com/plone/Installers-UnifiedInstaller/issues/33 and already fixed for Plone-5-installers, but not for Plone-4.
The bug is likely caused of the newest setuptools-version and FWIW, I accidentally found these infos one day in the tweets of "glyph", which look helpful:
"Public Service Announcement: make @dstufft’s life easier, and do not use the `python-pip´ package from Debian or Ubuntu. It’s broken." (1)
"Instead, install pip and virtualenv with get-pip.py, ideally into your home directory. (Sadly, https://pip2014.com/ is still relevant.)" (2)
I will have a closer look at the salvation-promising-script get-pip.py, when running into probs again, but for now, I simply don't upgrade anything :-D
