   An update that has three recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:


   This update for openvswitch provides the following fixes:

   - Strip off encapsulation offload indications when packets are
     decapsulated. (bsc#1009682)
   - Do not restart the openvswitch service after a package update.
     Restarting it may interrupt connectivity so let the user decide when is
     the best time for such action. (bsc#1002734)
   - Do not stop the systemd service on package removals as this can break
     networking. Moreover, this allows easier updates to more recent
     openvswitch releases without connectivity problems. (bsc#1050896)
