I think that this is not a duplicated bug, just because a newer version solve a reported problem (bug 1532364) doesn't means that we should update the version.

Just apply the specific changes. Also, as we are close to the freeze state, new versions are hard to be uploaded, but fixes are easier to promote.

I'll be happy to have a new version of Shutter, but I think that this may take some time and we are close to release date.

An exception could be granted for bugfix releases, like this one.

I will unsubscribe the sponsors team, as there is no patch to be reviewed.

I've been running shutter via this PPA successfully:

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

Since the package in the main repository doesn't work at all, just taking the package from this PPA and putting it into the main repository would be a huge improvement.

I'm a long-time Shutter user, and I've been running this PPA package since 02-08-2016 on Ubuntu 16.04 without any issues.

Could you increase the importance of this bug, please? The severity of this
issue is more like "blocker" than "wish", IMHO.

A couple of other bugs have been marked duplicates of his one. However,
they report, that shutter *does not start at all* in xenial. When perl
and shutter are installed from the official xenial repository, this
combination does not work.

Using a newer package from the "Shutter Team" PPA should not be taken
as a workaround. Is shutter 0.93.1 going to be accepted to xenial or will
you request the team to release shutter 0.92.1 as a bugfix version?
