Bug#657550: Further info: use of debconf-set-selections in hook also ineffective
As an additional test I had the following executable script
in the chroot by placing it in
config/hooks/500-add-user-to-iocard-group.chroot
8<----
#!/bin/sh
echo
echo "NB: live-config hook: adding user to group iocard"
cmd="user-setup passwd/user-default-groups string audio cdrom dip floppy video plugdev netdev powerdev scanner bluetooth iocard"
echo "NB: piping the following to debconf-set-selections: $cmd"
echo $cmd | debconf-set-selections
8<----
The log file shows the following:

However, the groups are still not set as expected. Could it be that something
is overriding the passwd/user-default-groups setting later on?
