I tried to install the Shutter in Ubuntu 16.04 following these 3 commands
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shutter/ppa
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install shutter
After running the step 2 i.e sudo apt-get update my output is this :

Thanks to the hints from @George, I was able to finally install shutter. I disabled all the repositories in the list mentioning precise. Surprisingly every repository has mention of it, replaced it with the following list
Then again try the
sudo apt-get updateand thensudo apt-get install shutterto successfully install it.
