After having configured subversion to store passwords in kwallet and installed the package subversion-kde, subversion when accessing an svn repository, which requires authentication, keeps asking if I want to store my password unencrypted or encrypted and seems not being able to store it in kwallet.

This is the message it keeps asking each time after authenticating.
"ATTENTION!  Your password for authentication realm:
can only be stored to disk unencrypted!  You are advised to configure
your system so that Subversion can store passwords encrypted, if
possible.  See the documentation for details.

You can avoid future appearances of this warning by setting the value
of the 'store-plaintext-passwords' option to either 'yes' or 'no' in
'/home/dominor/.subversion/servers'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Store password unencrypted (yes/no)?"

No error message is given.

Other applications store passwords in kwallet successfully.

In order to configure subversion to use kwallet, I went to ~/.subversion/config and on the auth section I added "password-stores = kwallet".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Subversion must be setup to not store password in plain-text.
1. Do some svn command like svn checkout or svn up on a svn repository requiring authentication (username/password).
2. Supply username and password when asked. Press Enter.
3. subversion asks to store it unencrypted (yes/no).
4. Answer no, so that it asks the same (3) the next time, you access the server.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 13:37:39 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
