I will teach you to fish! :)

You need the git-email package on Ubuntu at least.

I kind of knew that but I confirmed using:
$ git send-email --dry-run ...
with strace:
$ strace -f -o /tmp/gse.log git send-email --dry-run ...

$ grep exec /tmp/gse.log | grep send-email | me-filtering-details
...
.../usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email...
...

so checking that package:
$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email
git-email: /usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email


Can you install that package and try again?
Don't forget about the git setup steps in:

If you get stuck, let me know.
