Public bug reported:
Line 11 of /etc/default/openvswitch-controller, describing options for
the LISTEN variable, says:
# * "pctp:[PORT]": Listen for TCP connections on the specified PORT
That is incorrect; the 'c' and 't' are transposed. It should instead
read:
# * "ptcp:[PORT]": Listen for TC
This bug also prevents starting some services (e.g. isc-dhcp-server) on
openvswitch interfaces at boot.
I avoided the problem by changing /etc/network/interfaces such that ovs
interfaces don't come up automatically, and ifupping them manually in
/etc/rc.local instead... but that's pretty silly.
