An update that has three fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This is an update for openvswitch to version 2.8.5. The update addressed a lot of issues. For a detailed overview of all the addressed issues, please visit our bug tracker (bsc#1112703).

It also has some improvements for the python packaging (bsc#1115085): * Rename python-openvswitch subpackages to python-ovs to follow the openSUSE policy that packages should be named after the modules they install. * Build the JSON C bindings and as a result the 'noarch' BuildArch needs to be removed. * Drop the python*-openvswitch-test packages and merge them with the test subpackage. * Build the python bindings using setuptools. * Include the egg-info package. * Use libopenvswitch as dependency to python bindings.
