Oh. Unfortunately there is a known issue with 2.13. Some patches are missing. Related issue: https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs-issues/issues/194 You could try clone the openvswitch repo, checkout branch-2.13 and execute $ git cherry-pick c101cd417 3c18bb0fe fe175ac17 So, you'll have following three commits applied: * fe175ac17 2020-05-15 | debian: Add python3-sphinx to ovs build dependencies [Ansis Atteka] * 3c18bb0fe 2020-05-14 | debian: Fix package dependencies [Roi Dayan] * c101cd417 2020-05-13 | debian: Fix broken build after some man pages became generated from RST [Ansis Atteka] Alternatively, you could try to just modify the code in a way like these commits does. There are few incorrect dependencies and also manpage files moved around. This is not related to kernel. I hope, we will have these commits backported to 2.13 soon.
