[Bug 1560530] Re: package openvswitch-switch (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[James Page]

Mar 22 10:49:00 hostname ovs-vsctl[21566]:
ovs|00002|db_ctl_base|ERR|unix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock:
database connection failed (No such file or directory)

is there a chance that you have a local build of ovs installed into
/usr/local?  This will conflict with the packaging?
