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,

Thank you! It seems like that script isn't getting executed, possibly
due to the Wayland session. If I source it manually things work again.
