Right, ideally the UI would suggest to install the patch server and let
you click a button to do that

Title:
  Useless error message

Status in gnome-user-share package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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)
