Shutter is one of must install applications in my Ubuntu desktop. And now it’s made into PPA for Ubuntu 19.10 Eoan Ermine.
Shutter is a feature-rich screenshot application with editing feature. It was available in Ubuntu universe repository. Since Ubuntu 18.10, it’s removed, along with some old Gnome libraries required by the screenshot tool.
Thanks to “Linux Uprising” team, the PPA maintains Shutter packages as well as dependencies for new Ubuntu releases.
