net_demo_installer fails due to later OVS version

[hbasappa]

I am not sure how a later version of OVS got installed on one of the nodes. But even after running net_demo_installer -c/net_demo_installer -r it does not work.

Logs: TASK [contiv_network : install ovs-common (debian)] **** fatal: [node1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "A later version is already installed"}

Hi. Is there a way to by pass this Version Check? Why should the Ansible script bail out when there is a later version installed? Please help us by pass this if possible.

@mapuri : Could you please comment on this one ?

The following let me proceed -

apt-get purge openvswitch-switch (if already installed)
mkdir -p /tmp/ovs
mv /usr/bin/ovs* /tmp/ovs/
mv /usr/sbin/ovs* /tmp/ovs/
apt-get install /tmp/ovs-common.deb -y
apt-get install /tmp/ovs-switch.deb -y

and re-run net_demo_installer.

Thanks @ramukima for cleanup steps.
