Please describe the problem.
See the logs. git-annex-shell tries to use not existing runshell
What steps will reproduce the problem?
I am on Debian testing and have, some month ago, tried the tarball distribution. I have returned to deb packages later and deleted the tarball installation. Seems that there some traces left.
I have tried to find the runshell configuration, but failed to do so.
I have destroyed the repo completely, has not helped.
What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
ii git-annex 5.20140831 amd64

# End of transcript or log.
~/.ssh/git-annex-shell is a wrapper script that gets installed when you use the standalone build. You can delete it and your problem will be fixed.
It would probably be good if the standalone build came with an uninstallation script.
