   * openvswitch 2.11.5

[Test Case]
The following SRU process was followed:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStackUpdates

In order to avoid regression of existing consumers, the OpenStack team will
run their continuous integration test against the packages that are in
-proposed. A successful run of all available tests will be required before the
proposed packages can be let into -updates.

The OpenStack team will be in charge of attaching the output summary of the
executed tests. The OpenStack team members will not mark ‘verification-done’ until
this has happened.

[Regression Potential]
In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the
aforementioned tests are attached to this bug.

  sudo apt-get update

Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-stein-needed to verification-stein-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-stein-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.
