The solution with provides/conflicts/replaces fails for what I expected
around the versioned depends.
Installing new removes old dependencies - reinstalling has conflicts:

Removes old libs - ok: libethdev4 librte-cryptodev1 librte-eal2
But also removes: openvswitch-switch-dpdk
To add I see:
   openvswitch-switch-dpdk : Depends: libethdev4 (>= 16.07~rc1)
                             Depends: librte-eal2 (>= 16.04)

That pretty much seems as the "Provides" doesn't serve versioned
dependencies.
Quoting: "If a relationship field has a version number attached, only real
packages will be considered to see whether the relationship is satisfied
(or the prohibition violated, for a conflict or breakage). In other words,
if a version number is specified, this is a request to ignore all Provides
for that package name and consider only real packages. The package manager
will assume that a package providing that virtual package is not of the
"right" version. A Provides field may not contain version numbers, and the
version number of the concrete package which provides a particular virtual
package will not be considered when considering a dependency on or conflict
with the virtual package name."

Going for the more explicit compat packages try now.
