Hah, sorry!

TLDR:
apt-get clean;apt-get update;apt-get install xpra
(or apt-get upgrade)

Long answer: I made a mistake building the latest release twice
http://lists.devloop.org.uk/pipermail/shifter-users/2016-August/001621.html
It was just a bigger blooper than I realized: the next release will
support many more Debian and Ubuntu distribution versions thanks to the
use of private ffmpeg libraries (just like we already do for RPMs), see:
http://xpra.org/trac/ticket/1256
So I ended up building 0.17.5 instead of the beta for Trusty, and you
ended up with a dead link in your repo data..
You may want to try the beta builds for trusty, as those are much more
up to date than the abandoned 0.15.x branch.

Cheers
Antoine
