Workaround is to do `rpm -e --nodeps openvswitch` then `dnf install openvswitch` (and re-enable the service if necessary). I just hit this on an upgrade from F37 to F38.

This might prove to be a bit tricky given that you most likely nuked the networking on the affected machine.
# rm /usr/sbin/ovs-vswitchd # /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --install /usr/sbin/ovs-vswitchd ovs-vswitchd /usr/sbin/ovs-vswitchd.nodpdk 10 and rebooting the machine (just seemed faster than trying to get NM to sort out the mess) brought back networking for me Ah, yeah, if your remote access to the machine depends on the openvswitch-defined network that would be tricky indeed. (In my case it doesn't; the openvswitch network is used for other purposes). Thanks for the alternative recipe.
