Ok, so which of these debians should I install?

openvswitch-common_2.1.3-1_amd64.deb
openvswitch-datapath-dkms_2.1.3-1_all.deb(NOT this one)
openvswitch-datapath-source_2.1.3-1_all.deb
openvswitch-dbg_2.1.3-1_amd64.deb
openvswitch-ipsec_2.1.3-1_amd64.deb
openvswitch-pki_2.1.3-1_all.deb
openvswitch-switch_2.1.3-1_amd64.deb
openvswitch-test_2.1.3-1_all.deb
openvswitch-vtep_2.1.3-1_amd64.deb
python-openvswitch_2.1.3-1_all.deb

I don’t see the controller debian. Is it included in the common.deb? 

I am using OF with OvS to connect to ODL.

DKMS builds the openvswitch module against each of the kernels that you have on 
your system. You have linux-3.16 installed, but openvswitch-datapath-dkms 2.1 
doesn't support it. The alternative is to use the openvswitch module that is 
distributed with the kernel (ie, do not install the dkms package at all).
