Public bug reported:

The dialog states in the first section "This feature can't be enabled
because the necessary packages are not installed."

This message is completely useless, because it leaves me completely in
the dark what the actual problem is and how I can resolve it. It should
instead provide a button to install whatever the system is missing or at
least name the packages that I need to install manually. (It's probably
samba, *I* know how to fix this)
