I have recently been trying to install Shutter and I get This error when I type sudo apt-get install shutter

I came about this solution because for this game, scrabble AI, a standalone scrabble game, I needed sudo apt install libgnome2-canvas-perl, which did not work.

however, this page to install shutter using a ppa got it for me and the game now works.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/shutter
sudo apt update

sudo apt update shutter

shutter does open up after installing some plugin updates. I then removed the ppa from software sources, just to be cautious.

edit: oops forgot the most important thing (for me) the scrabble game https://github.com/apikler/ScrabbleAI

unzip, run perl scrabble.pl from where you put it.
