Title:
  Personal file sharing preferences dialog does not offer to install
  needed packages

Status in gnome-user-share:

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:

Status in NULL Project:

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

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.
