Public bug reported: light-locker-settings is a python program (available from the 'Preferences' menu) that uses a third-party module called 'psutils'. This module at one point had a method named 'get_pid_list()' which was renamed to 'pids()'. The old name was deprecated at least two years ago and then completely removed in the 3.0 release of psutils last June. light-locker-settings uses the old method name in line 219 of light- locker-settings.py, resulting in the following exception stack:
