[Bug 1821261] Re: nfsiostat broken and exits with traceback

[Matthew Ruffell]

** Description changed:

  nfsiostat, in nfs-common-1.3.4-2, is broken in bionic, cosmic and disco.
  
  When you run the command nfsiostat, either as root or a regular user,
  the following traceback is printed:
  
  $ nfsiostat
  Traceback (most recent call last):
-   File "/usr/sbin/nfsiostat", line 640, in <module>
-     iostat_command(prog)
-   File "/usr/sbin/nfsiostat", line 593, in iostat_command
-     devices = list_nfs_mounts(origdevices, mountstats)
-   File "/usr/sbin/nfsiostat", line 495, in list_nfs_mounts
-     for device, descr in list(mountstats.items()):
+   File "/usr/sbin/nfsiostat", line 640, in <module>
+     iostat_command(prog)
+   File "/usr/sbin/nfsiostat", line 593, in iostat_command
+     devices = list_nfs_mounts(origdevices, mountstats)
+   File "/usr/sbin/nfsiostat", line 495, in list_nfs_mounts
+     for device, descr in list(mountstats.items()):
  TypeError: 'list' object is not callable
  
  This is caused by the 'list' reserved word being used as a variable name
  in list_nfs_mounts(), and is explained here:

  on-18-04/1123336#1123336?s=a1e9150fbf284e849efe6fe084e7c7b8
  
- I will send a patch to upstream shortly, and begin the SRU process. It's
- going to be my first SRU since I started in sts-eng, so that's exciting.
+ I will send a patch to upstream shortly.
