"Err":"Could not find a link for the OVS bridge named ovsbr-xxxxxx"

I am running docker 1.9.1 build a34a1d5 on ubuntu 14.04. When i try to create a docker network with the ovs plugin ,it is giving me an error.

docker network create -d ovs ovsnet

Error response from daemon: Plugin Error: NetworkDriver.CreateNetwork, {"Err":"Could not find a link for the OVS bridge named ovsbr-dd01c"}

Is this docker version error or there is something wrong happened with the plugin because initially it was working fine with the docker version 1.9.1

If somebody is also facing the same error in their setup, then the solution is to remove Open vSwitch from their host machine.
I used these commands to remove it from my ubuntu 14.04 machine.
#sudo apt-get remove openvswitch-common
#sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove openvswitch-common
#sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove openvswitch-common

Now ovs plugin is working on docker 1.9.x as well as 1.10.x
