Thanks a lot for reporting this, however since the average user is more
likely to be using Ubuntu One to share files and folders, rather than
Nautilus' built-in features, this unfortunately does not count as a
paper cut.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  What happens -> I open the Personal file sharing preferences dialog via system-preferences or via nautilus, and Im told that the network sharing feature can not be enabled because the required packages are not on your pc.
  I, as a tech user, went to synaptic, found the package, looked for its recommends and got the functionality.
  A normal user wont be able to do so, and so a button to install those packages is needed for usabilty's sake.

  ----------------------------------------------

  Desired resolution:

  - Remove the "Sharing Options" right click menu option from Nautilus.
  - If a advanced user chooses to install the required packages, the menu should re-appear in Nautilus.
