Sometimes it helps, sometimes it does not, that is why I suggested the
other way.

sudo apt-get install gnome-screenshot

It is NOT a default application for Lubuntu, by the way.

The trick is, to know the package name that if you run on the Terminal, you
can open that application.

For example, to run "Chromium", you need to type: 'chromium-browser'.
To run say leafpad, you need to type 'leafpad. And so on.

So, Nio's suggestion is helpful to learn the package name that match the
application name. Once you know that, you no longer need Synaptic or any
Software Center to install/remove your apps :)
