Package: openvswitch-switch
Version: 2.6.2~pre+git20161223-3
After openvswitch-switch installation there is symlink @openvswitch to
/usr/share/openvswitch/scripts/ifupdown.sh. This script calls ifconfig,
but in standard installation net-tools aren't installed.
Snip from syslog:

openvswitch-switch.
