[Bug 1124384] [NEW] cloud-init parses yaml incorrectly

[Ben Howard]

Public bug reported:

Example from failure: https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/raring-server-
ec2/ARCH=amd64,REGION=eu-west-1,STORAGE=ebs,TEST=multi-part-ud,label
=ubuntu-server-ec2-testing/17/console

Cloud-init is parsing YAML incorrectly
runcmd:
...  - [ sh, -c, "echo ============= $(date) ': hello world!' ============= " ]
...  - [ sh, -c, 'echo "$(date)" > /root/runcmd.date.txt' ]
...  - [ wget, "http://slashdot.org", -O, /tmp/index.html ]
...  - touch /tmp/done

Fails, while changing "- touch /tmp/done" to " - [ touch /tmp/done ]"
works.

** Affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu)
     Importance: High
         Status: New

** Package changed: ubuntu => cloud-init (Ubuntu)
