This isn't the sort of thing the technical board is for (this is a user 
support question), but since you're here:

ksnapshot was replaced upstream by KDE with spectacle.  It's packages as kde-
spectacle in 16.04 and later.  If you have further questions, I recommend the 
kubuntu-users mailing list [1].
