Yes, but your shell seems to find git-diff somewhere, so what about:

type --all git-diff
echo $PATH

In any case, Ubuntu seems to do something strange about binaries which
used to be installed. How can "git-diff" trigger a message about
"apt-get install git-core"?

For sure it does the same strange thing for everything else which used
to be in your PATH, and this makes current stash, gc etc. fail when
trying to call git-pack-objects and such. A "/usr/bin time machine"???

OTOH: The git-pack-objects usage line indicates that you clearly have
older plumbing lying around. I suspect there are at least 2 issues on
that box.
