System.DllNotFoundException: lib/linux/x86_64/libgit2-1196807.so on Ubuntu Linux

I have difficulties with LibGit2Sharp while running Cake (with Cake.Git addin) build on Linux Ubuntu 16.04 in Docker - https://github.com/cake-contrib/Cake_Git/issues/68
But I managed to isolate issue with LibGit2Sharp only.

Reproduction steps

touch gt.cs

using LibGit2Sharp;
using System;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("HI");
        var repo = new Repository("/opt/buildagent/work/e1fb3d71588668ec");
    }
}

csc gt.cs /r:LibGit2Sharp.dll

mono gt.exe

HI

Mono looks up for native module in subfolder bacause of config

cat LibGit2Sharp.dll.config

<configuration>
    <dllmap os="linux" cpu="x86-64" wordsize="64" dll="git2-1196807" target="lib/linux/x86_64/libgit2-1196807.so" />
    <dllmap os="osx" cpu="x86,x86-64" dll="git2-1196807" target="lib/osx/libgit2-1196807.dylib" />
</configuration>

the file lib/linux/x86_64/libgit2-1196807.so does exist. also tried to copy it besides my .exe module.

Expected behavior

no error

Actual behavior

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods' threw an exception. ---> System.DllNotFoundException: lib/linux/x86_64/libgit2-1196807.so

Beginnen Sie mit LibGit2Sharp.dll.config und der in der Stacktrace angezeigten Initialisierung von LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods. Reproduzieren Sie den Fehler mit dem bereitgestellten C#-Programm auf Ubuntu 16.04 unter Mono und verfolgen Sie anschließend das Laden der nativen Bibliothek, bis das erwartete Verhalten ohne die DllNotFoundException erreicht wird.
