Terminal shows that my user is only a member of its group, but it is not true - how to fix?

I went to strange situation on my laptop (running Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS).
All terminals show that my sudo-able user is only a member of its group:
$ whoami
norbert
$ groups
norbert
$ id
uid=1000(norbert) gid=1000(norbert) groups=1000(norbert)
$ grep norbert /etc/passwd
norbert:x:1000:1000:Norbert,,,:/home/norbert:/bin/bash
but it is not true as my user is listed in /etc/groups:
$ grep norbert /etc/group
adm:x:4:norbert,syslog
disk:x:6:norbert
lp:x:7:norbert
dialout:x:20:norbert
cdrom:x:24:norbert
www-data:x:33:norbert
plugdev:x:46:norbert
fuse:x:104:norbert,tester
lpadmin:x:105:norbert
admin:x:119:norbert
norbert:x:1000:
sambashare:x:122:norbert
vboxusers:x:124:norbert
debian-tor:x:129:norbert,tester
local:x:1001:norbert
libvirtd:x:138:norbert
wireshark:x:126:norbert
As the result I can't use Arduino IDE and Wireshark.
If I login to this system from SSH - I can see all groups:
$ groups
norbert adm disk lp dialout cdrom www-data plugdev fuse lpadmin admin sambashare vboxusers wireshark debian-tor libvirtd local
Why this happened? What should I do to debug and fix this behavior?

Did you do the obvious thing and reboot (or maybe at least log out completely) already?

This problem was linked with my other question about PAM warnings in /var/log/auth.log.
The problem was caused by manually installed PAM KWallet modules. I have installed both (libpam-kwallet4 and libpam-kwallet5), but they can't be installed in the same time as described in the bug 1781418 on launchpad.
I fixed my problem by removing two PAM modules:
sudo apt-get purge libpam-kwallet4 libpam-kwallet5
and then rebooted.
