[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Mario Kemper (Romario) (mario-kemper)]

There is a new version available that should fix the problem described here:
https://launchpad.net/shutter/0.9x/0.93.1

Please update the Ubuntu package to the latest version.

[Phill Whiteside (phillw)]

I've looked at the area, there seems no mention of 16.04 on there and an update does not pull in the new version.

[Mario Kemper (Romario) (mario-kemper)]

I have now added packages for 16.04 and for 15.10 to the PPA and to the release page mentioned above.

[Phill Whiteside (phillw)]

grabbed .deb from LP page for 16.04 , it is now working fine.

[Hagen Kuehn (hag-k)]

I am running 16.04 and installing "shutter_0.93.1-ppa1-ubuntu16.04.1_all.deb" resolved this problem for me too.

[Raony Guimarães (raonyguimaraes)]

Thank you Hagen!
Here is what I did:
wget https://launchpad.net/shutter/0.9x/0.93.1/+download/shutter_0.93.1-ppa1-ubuntu16.04.1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i shutter_0.93.1-ppa1-ubuntu16.04.1_all.deb

[Chris Crisafulli (itnet7)]

This worked for me as well, after I recently updated my device to 16.04. At first when trying to install the shutter_0.93.1-ppa1-ubuntu16.04.1_all.deb package I received:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 shutter

So I did:

sudo apt-get install -f

and it completed properly. Posting in case it might help someone else.

Really close to release date and this bug is still present:
In this question there is some information to fix this bug:

I just noticed that after a fresh install today as well. It has been marked as fix released for several weeks now, but isn't fixed.

[Phill Whiteside (phillw)]

It is marked fix released by a dev of shutter, it seems no one has actually imported it into debian, and thus ubuntu..

This ppa has the version that needs to be in the Main Repository:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shutter/ppa ; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install shutter
