Note: this works on later versions of Ubuntu also (tested on Ubuntu 18.10, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 20.10)

Download additional packages

wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libgoocanvas-common_1.0.0-1_all.deb
wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libgoocanvas3_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libgoo-canvas-perl_0.06-2ubuntu3_amd64.deb

Install them

sudo dpkg -i libgoocanvas-common_1.0.0-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i libgoocanvas3_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libgoo-canvas-perl_0.06-2ubuntu3_amd64.deb
sudo apt -f install

Kill Shutter (if it’s running)

sudo killall shutter

Start Shutter again and enjoy
