Hi, I had the same problem and couldn't find the exact solution
anywhere, so I'll post my solution here so anyone in the same situation
can solve the problem too.
Apparently, something was wrong with my Ubuntu (18.04). I installed the
OS and all the programs I use, but Inkscape would insist with the
missing libsigc-2.0.so.0 problem. First I thought it was something in
Inkscape so I let a few months pass as I didn't require Inkscape for
work. But when I check again, after several updates, the problem was
still present, so I started searching.
Long story short, some libraries where actually missing, despite all the
packages containing them where installed (so "apt install
[PACKAGE_NAME]" would say). So, the solution is to reinstall all the
packages with missing files, like libsigc-2.0.so.0 which comes with the
package libsigc++-2.0-0v5.
First, you need to know which libraries are missing. For this you can
use the command:
ldd $(which inkscape) | grep "not found"
Then you have to find out, through an internet search, which packages
that library comes with. Once you found it, you just need to reinstall
the package with the following command:
sudo apt install --reinstall [PACKAGE_NAME]
In my case I had to run the following commands:
sudo apt install --reinstall libsigc++-2.0-0v5
sudo apt install --reinstall libatkmm-1.6-1v5
sudo apt install --reinstall libpangomm-1.4-1v5
sudo apt install --reinstall libcairomm-1.0-1v5
Good luck!
