The git repo have no LFS enabled, but I was prepared git to use in another clone, so use the git config --global credential.helper that seems the cause of the problem.

Seems the same problem here, but I am using updated git (v2.17.0), so it is not a version problem.

Exemple: after simple git pull the message is

/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret/git-credential-libsecret get: 1: 
/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret/git-credential-libsecret get: 
 /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret/git-credential-libsecret: 
 not found

NOTES

There are no git-credential-libsecret file, 

sudo ls /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret/git-credential-libsecret
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret/git-credential-libsecret': No such file or directory

First, make sure to understand where that setting is coming from

git config --show-origin -l

Then you can unset it.
For instance:

git config --global --unset credential.helper

Once the situation is cleaned, you can install back libsecret, as described in "How to bake credential into docker image for git?".

  • Yes, fixed the basic problem (!)... But how to use `credential.helper` again? I lost my credential, need to do something? PS: after the `--unset` the `--show-origin` lost the line *credential.helper=/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/credential/libsecret/git-credential-libsecret* of the file */root/.gitconfig*. – Peter Krauss Apr 15 '18 at 16:54

  • Thanks the `apt` of the second link is helping, seem that all is working fine again. – Peter Krauss Apr 15 '18 at 20:17
  • @PeterKrauss Great, well done! I have edited the answer to make that step more visible. – VonC Apr 15 '18 at 20:18
