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.
