[Bug 1564122] Re: Please update to bugfix release shutter 0.93.1-1 (universe) from Debian testing (main)

[Ferdinand Prantl]

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?
