Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu
better.

I got the same error message when attemting to run secret-tool on a
headless system. I also tried with a newer version, but the issue is
still present in libsecret-tools 0.18-1ubuntu2 on Ubuntu Vivid.

I tested with the following command:
$ secret-tool store --label="example" foo bar

I've taken the liberty of moving this bug report to the libsecret
package, since I don't see how it is related to anacron.

** Package changed: anacron (Ubuntu) => libsecret (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: libsecret (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Tags added: trusty utopic vivid
