[Bug 1708688] Re: openvswitch-datapath-dkms 2.0.2-0ubuntu0.14.04.3: openvswitch kernel module failed to build

[James Page]

That's correct - see https://javacruft.wordpress.com/2014/03/03/which-
open-vswitch/

everything you need is in the kernel; the DKMS package was retained for
ease of backporting to 12.04 only.

** Changed in: openvswitch (Ubuntu)
