Subject: build_utils.sh: Remove python3 versions we don't want
X-Git-Url: http://git-server-git.apps.pok.os.sepia.ceph.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7de24933bb5d42f493781cbc8a1b51fd7833cf7e;p=ceph-build.git

build_utils.sh: Remove python3 versions we don't want

@guits and I think there's either a bug in `alternatives` or we just can't figure out how it's supposed to work.  Even with setting `alternatives --set python3 /usr/bin/python3.9`, python3.6 was still the "best" version according to `alternatives --display`.

So we'll just remove the other version entirely.
