The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: Install openvswitch from the Ubuntu repository using apt-get as shown sudo apt-get install openvswitch-common openvswitch-switch Install openvswitch-switch and openvswitch-common In this example OpenvSwitch is upgraded from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1 as described below. Once that is installed, it can be upgraded or downgraded using the dpkg utility and the deb packages built from source. This is the easiest way to setup the onboot properties of the OpenvSwitch in my opinion so that all the onboot properties and startup will work correctly. Install openvswitch-common and openvswitch-switch from Ubuntu 16.04 repository using apt-get. The main reference I used for this is here and the part used in this blog is the section " Build and install option 2 (Build Debian packages and install)". This in my experience is the most straightforward way to install and maintain OpenvSwitch upgrades on an Ubunty 16.04 system. These are notes on installing OpenvSwitch from Ubuntu repository on Ubuntu 16.04 and then upgrading (or downgrading) OpenvSwitch using source code to build upgrade DEB packages.
