Hi,

if you are running SOC6 aka SUSE OpenStack Cloud 6  
make sure to not install python-2.7.13-27.1 yet because we just found it causes problems with neutron server processes no more starting.  
A fixed version will be coming soon.

if you already installed it, and maybe even got broken network from openvswitch, the workaround is to do  
ovs-vsctl del-fail-mode br-fixed  
ovs-vsctl del-fail-mode br-public  
zypper in -f python-base-2.7.9-24.2 python-2.7.9-24.2

and allow it to downgrade some more packages

A controller node reboot is the easiest way to get all required services started again in the right order.

Ciao  
Bernhard M.
