Thanks for the report. It seems like we're missing at least three patches on branch-2.13:

* 3c18bb0fe 2020-05-14 | debian: Fix package dependencies [Roi Dayan]
* fe175ac17 2020-05-15 | debian: Add python3-sphinx to ovs build dependencies [Ansis Atteka]
* c101cd417 2020-05-13 | debian: Fix broken build after some man pages became generated from RST [Ansis Atteka]

These are bug fixes, but wasn't backported for some reason while applying.

@ansisatteka, could you, please, backport them?
