Hi, #1: The linkage problem and dpdk0 not found. This effectively is bug 1628419 The upload would have been in over the weekend, but I tried to fix too much at once and made a mistake that blocked it from going into the Archive. That will soon be fixed and available.
#2: Is there any way to make the vswitchd link with the static libs? I never needed that and the packaging certainly isn't going that way. You can try to build OVS "just on your own", but as I think #1 is covered by 1628419 you should be good without going the static link route. #3: In debian/rules: override_dh_auto_configure I had to add '--with-dpdk' otherwise the ovs-vswitchd in the .deb package is without dpdk support. There are two packages, one with and one without -dpkg. The "openvswitch-switch-dpdk" package has a vswitch with DPDK support. That is to ensure that the rather new DPDK code doesn't negatively affect other Openvswitch users. To switch you have not only to install but alto update alternatives. Here is an example for that: https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/serverguide/DPDK.html#dpdk-openvswitch Although as you already know this is for 16.04, so the DPDK_OPTS part in that doc do no more apply to Openvswitch >=2.6 I really think you just wait for the fix to 1628419 to get released, but I'll wait closing this as dup for your feedback. ** Changed in: openvswitch-dpdk (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: openvswitch-dpdk (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1629271 Title: ovs-dpdk 2.6 source package linkage broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch-dpdk/+bug/1629271/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
