Hi,

I assume you refer to: 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=966921

This is strange - the last src:dpdk upload was on 2020-06-20, and the
last src:openvswitch upload was on 2020-06-30, and everything built
fine, and you can see from the buildd logs that it used the current
version:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=openvswitch&arch=amd64&ver=2.13.0%2Bdfsg1-12&stamp=1593532578&raw=0

The reporter says it's not building on buildds, but in a custom
environment on AWS, maybe something is wrong there? Or some other
build-dep changed in the meanwhile that broke the autoconf check in
openvswitch?

Christian, any idea? Maybe the PKG_CHECK_MODULES_STATIC goes wrong for
some reason, so it falls back to try the old, deprecated -ldpdk?
