At least in 16.04 ubuntu-desktop Recommends gnome-keyring which Depends
on pinentry-gnome3.

Title:
  gpg passphrase no longer prompted for

Status in gnome-keyring package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnupg2 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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.
