Hi Mike, Can i ask how you retrieved the source? The error is that it is missing the upstream (orig) source tarball in the location about the working directory. One workflow: - apt-get source openvswitch - cd openvswitch* - $do stuff - dch -i - debuild -S - cd ../ You should now have a source package that you can build either on your system, pbuilder, sbuild or a PPA. Hope this helps. -- Kind Regards, Dave Walker (Daviey) Engineering Manager, Ubuntu Server And Cloud Infrastructure
