Public bug reported:

Release
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Release:        24.04
Codename:       noble

Package:
passwd 1:4.13+dfsg1-4ubuntu3.2

When using the libnss-extrausers package to store users in a seperate DB
at /var/lib/extrausers, the usermod program is unable to edit group
memberships (usermod -a -G <groupname> <username>)

Running group-modifying usermod command fails silently, no error is
generated and the return code is 0, but there is no change at
/var/lib/extrausers

usermod DOES support some extrausers features, I can successfully change
a user's GECOS.
