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.
