Built-in editor not working after libgoo-canvas-perl goes away

[Ron Bentley]

Shutter installs and works in Ubuntu 18.04, but the built-in editor does not. Hover over the grayed-out button and it says, "Goo::canvas/libgoo-canvas-perl needs to be installed for this feature."

Unfortunately, there is no installation candidate for libgoo-canvas-perl any more. Seems that package was retired in Debian recently:

Any options? I saw mention of libgoocanvas2-perl as a possible replacement.

(BTW, awesome screen-shot tool. Thank you very much.)

Unfortunately, Shutter is incompatible with libgoocanvas2-perl as of now. But patches for a shift to libgoocanvas2-perl are always welcome. :)
