- Why I did it
The only Python code in the SwSS package, restore_neighbors.py, was recently converted to Python 3 and most dependencies were updated as part of #6207. However, the SwSS makefile still listed the Python 2 version of the swsscommon package as a dependency. This caused Python 2-related packages to be installed in containers unnecessarily.
- How I did it
Update SwSS makefile to list Python 3 swsscommon package as a dependency rather than the Python 2 package.
