Integrating SVN with kwallet

I can't for my life make SVN read the password stored at kwallet and use it to stop asking when I do anything. Google has not helped finding the answer, so I turn back to you.

I'm running right now Kubuntu 16.04 fully upgraded, SVN is version 1.9.3 (r1718519), and it says that it has support for KWALLET

The following authentication credential caches are available:

* Plaintext cache in /home/ssol/.subversion
* Gnome Keyring
* GPG-Agent
* KWallet (KDE)

My .subversion/config has the following configuration:

[auth]
password-stores = kwallet

My .subversion/servers has the following configuration:

[global]
store-passwords = yes

KWallet is installed, the Wallet manager says Version 15.12.3. I only have 1 wallet, the default kdewallet with a bunch of folders there. I know it works because I use it with ksshaskpass and it works flawless. On Subversion, something is not working right.

After I added the configurations, I did an svn update on a project I have, it asked for the password. After typing it, the annexed prompt popped, to allow subversion to connect to the wallet. I type the wallet password and allowed it. But no entry was update inside the wallet.

I tried a second type, it asked again for the same prompt. And, this time, SVN saved the password as a plain-text inside the .subversion/auth/svn.simple/.

So, what am I doing wrong?

You need to have libsvn_auth_kwallet-1-0 installed.
