** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1125611
   DKMS brcompat module circular dependency causes broken module

** Summary changed:

- ovs-brcompatd: could not open brcompat socket.  Check "brcompat" kernel module.

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]

+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ sudo apt-get install module-assistant
+ sudo module-assistant auto-install openvswitch-datapath
+ 
+ Error:
+ install: cannot stat `openvswitch/datapath/linux/*_mod.ko': No such file or directory
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Minimal; one-line fix in d/rules.modules which is only used for this install method.

  Hello,
  
  after installation of openvswitch packages I'm not able to start brcompat service.
  I used package openvswitch-datapath-dkms.
  
  brcompat module is loaded
  #> lsmod | grep brcompat
  brcompat 12387 0
  
  #> service openvswitch-switch status
  ovsdb-server is running with pid 4689
  ovs-vswitchd is running with pid 4698
  ovs-brcompatd is not running
  
  when I try to restart openvswitch services it end up with error message:
  
  #> service openvswitch-switch restart
-  * ovs-brcompatd is not running
-  * Killing ovs-vswitchd (8226)

  #> module-assistant auto-install openvswitch-datapath
  
  but it was terminated with error"
