Description:

This update for openvswitch provides the following fixes:

  • Strip off encapsulation offload indications when packets are decapsulated. (bsc#1009682)
  • Do not restart the openvswitch service after a package update. Restarting it may interrupt connectivity so let the user decide when is the best time for such action. (bsc#1002734)
  • Do not stop the systemd service on package removals as this can break networking. Moreover, this allows easier updates to more recent openvswitch releases without connectivity problems. (bsc#1050896)
