Thanks Ilya for quick response. What is the best way of getting 2.13.1? I tried to build from source, but hit this issue.

I only have python3-twisted and python3-zope.interface instead. Are these two packages the culprit? Or, 2.13 and older versions cannot be built on 5.5+ kernel? Is there a way to skip building the kernel model? It seems that the building kernel model failed. Please advise. Thanks.
