  Hi,

when using plone 2.5.1 on zope2.9 on ubuntu edgy I encountered an
error: If I tried to upload a picture zope responded with the error
message

ImportError: The _imaging C module is not installed

while python-imaging (containing this C module) IS installed.

It turned out I was missing the jpeg lib as "ldd" was telling me, so running

apt-get install libjpeg62

solved the problem.
Should the package "python-imaging" have a dependency on "libjpeg62"?


Cheers,

Alexis Kotte
