It appears that pinentry-gnome3 is listed as task: ubuntu-desktop, and
so it should have been installed to handle this, yet it has not.  The
ubuntu-desktop package does not depend on it so it looks like a problem
with meta.

Bug description:
  In 15.04 and prior, when using enigmail to send signed email, it would
  prompt for my passphrase.  Now it fails saying the passphrase is
  invalid ( without prompting )  This seems to be because we used to use
  gnome-keyring with gpg support enabled, but gnome-keyring is run
  without gpg enabled, and so gpg-agent is started, but without the
  required switches to use pinentry to prompt for the passphrase, so it
  only works for command line gpg, not gui apps like
  thunderbird/enigmail.
