Comment 0 for bug 1903891

It appears that on JUNOS 18.4R2-S2.4 built 2019-11-08 the word `interface` as part of the CLI has changed to `interfaces`. The CLI automatically adds the additional `s`, for example, `delete interface {port} disable` is converted to `delete interfaces {port} disable`. However, this causes a terrible failure in netmiko such as:

Upon inspection the commands are garbled:

This can be fixed with `s/interface/interfaces` in the Juniper driver.
