In Ubuntu 16.10, gnupg changed from the 1.4.x series to the 2.x series. With that, gpg-agent now will start on-demand when needed, whereas with the old gnupg it needed to be manually started. Svn currently detects whether it can use gpg-agent by looking for the UNIX socket that's used to communicate with the agent. It finds this either through the GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable or looking for ~/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent socket. It sounds like neither of those exist in your setup. $GPG_AGENT_INFO should be defined for your X session by /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent, and there are also some hints in the file about how to ensure the agent gets started. While the above isn't a solution, hopefully it's enough information to figure out where the disconnect is. Cheers, -- James GPG Key: 4096R/91BF BF4D 6956 BD5D F7B7 2D23 DFE6 91AE 331B A3DB
