Bug Description

In heat-cfntools 1.4.0, the fix for bug 1312246 breaks apt package installation in cfn-init. The code runs:

        cmd_str = 'DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install %s' % \
                  pkg_list
        CommandRunner(cmd_str).run()

However cmd_str is no longer interpreted by the shell but passed directly to execvp, so instead of setting the environment variable DEBIAN_FRONTEND to "noninteractive", it will attempt to run the command "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive". Which will likely fail.
