Description:
I am trying to add myself to a new group without having to logout/login. This should work, however:

$ sudo usermod -a -G kvm
$ newgrp kvm
newgrp: setgid failed: Operation not permitted

Looks like a package bug: newgrp was part of shadow package, now is on util-linux but is not setuid. Please file a bug.

Additional info:
* package version: util-linux-2.21.2-5


Steps to reproduce:
$ sudo usermod -a -G kvm
$ newgrp kvm
This task depends upon
