Hi, as an FYI Ubuntu moved to recent commit def6eb1ea and for us it seems to work fine so far. See the package at: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/2.15.0~git20210104.def6eb1ea-0ubuntu3 With that confirmed and the feature freeze coming soon. Would you mind doing a similar upload to Debian-experimental soon'ish? > Regards > Ian > > -- Christian Ehrhardt Staff Engineer, Ubuntu Server Canonical Ltd
