[PR] Release doc: how to solve issue with ksshaskpass [camel-quarkus]
JiriOndrusek opened a new pull request, #8324:
URL: https://github.com/apache/camel-quarkus/pull/8324
I encountered strange error when running `release:prepare` command. I'm not sure why the error happened to me (a few days ago the same command work). I fixed the problem with some local configuration. I'm adding a small note to the releasing guide in case this happens again.
<!-- Uncomment and fill this section if your PR is not trivial
[ ] An issue should be filed for the change unless this is a trivial change (fixing a typo or similar). One issue should ideally be fixed by not more than one commit and the other way round, each commit should fix just one issue, without pulling in other changes.
[ ] Each commit in the pull request should have a meaningful and properly spelled subject line and body. Copying the title of the associated issue is typically enough. Please include the issue number in the commit message prefixed by #.
[ ] The pull request description should explain what the pull request does, how, and why. If the info is available in the associated issue or some other external document, a link is enough.
[ ] Phrases like Fix #<issueNumber> or Fixes #<issueNumber> will auto-close the named issue upon merging the pull request. Using them is typically a good idea.

Did you try `dnf install ksshaskpass`?
On fedora I have the Git `credential.helper` set to `git-credential-libsecret` and it works fine with `ksshaskpass` / `KWallet`.

```suggestion
== Troubleshooting
=== Edge case involving SSH credential prompting
If you encounter an error related to `ksshaskpass`, such as:
----
[ERROR] The git-push command failed.
[ERROR] Command output:
[ERROR] fatal: cannot exec '/usr/bin/ksshaskpass': No such file or directory
[ERROR] fatal: could not read Username for 'https://gitbox.apache.org': terminal
----
In some environments, an SSH askpass helper may be invoked unexpectedly for
credential handling. If the helper is missing or incompatible with the
desktop/session configuration, Git operations can fail.
One way to prevent the use of an askpass helper is to disable it explicitly:
----
unset SSH_ASKPASS
export SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE=never
----
After applying these settings, the error may change to:
----
[ERROR] The git-push command failed.
[ERROR] Command output:
[ERROR] fatal: could not read Username for 'https://gitbox.apache.org': terminal prompts disabled
[ERROR] -> [Help 1]
----
At this point, Git is no longer attempting to use an askpass helper, but is also
unable to prompt for credentials interactively.
To restore normal credential prompting or authentication behavior, several
commands may be helpful, depending on the environment and Git configuration.
The following commands were executed during troubleshooting; the exact one that
resolved the issue is unclear, but they are documented here for reference:
----
ssh -T git@gitbox.apache.org
git config --global credential.helper store
ssh-add -l
mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=env.SSH_AUTH_SOCK -q -DforceStdout
----
```

Yes I installed `ksshaskpass`, but it didn't work for me. I was getting the same error as with git push.
(Might be related to the fact, that I'm using cinnamon)
