What does

    ldd `command -v gnome-screenshot`

output?

Do you have a locally-installed copy of libhandy-1.so.0 that is found
before the system copy, perhaps in /usr/local? (If you do, please remove
it: Debian package dependencies cannot take locally-installed libraries
into account.)

This should be sufficient to provide hdy_init, version LIBHANDY_1_0.
