Transmission doesn't start for for error while loading shared libraries

Asked by Vincenzo

Ciao, I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 and Transmission app doesn't start by clicking on the icon (it seems loading up in the first seconds but then crash). So I launched it in the terminal and I got the following error message:
"transmission-gtk: error while loading shared libraries: libminiupnpc.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I also read the similar discussion reported in question #213860 (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transmission/+question/213860) but with the solution explained here I'm not able to solve my problem.

Here below you can find the output of some commands for more details:

The same problem was encountered with the package installed from your PPA:

You already have a question open and active about this. Why make a new question? It makes no sense
