This is not the only app I am having trouble with, geany is also missing plugins and Rhythmbox is missing MPEG-4 AAC despite installing the usual extras This is a fresh install of 16.04, and remounting my home drive after install as usual.

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version (65).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Then trying to play anything gives

Required plugin could not be found

Rhythmbox requires to install plugins to play media files of the following type: MPEG-4 AAC decoder

Normally fixing things is easy, but this time after trying, apt, aptitude, software center (missing a lot in here) etc no joy - they just dont appear to exist.

I think you can solve this problem if you add the necessary repositories, then update, and finally install the software for which you have added the repository... An example for your actual problem is found in the link in the comment I made above or you can also go here https://launchpad.net/~pinta-maintainers/+archive/ubuntu/pinta-stable
