Title: Automatic installation of samba fails with "could not find package libpam-smbpass" Status in nautilus-share package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I actually have no idea if this is really a Nautilus issue but didn't know where else to file it. I have a fresh install of ubuntu 17.10. I start nautilus (using File). I right-click on a folder and select "Local Network Share". When I select "Share this folder" it says the sharing service is not installed, so I select "Install Service" and it offers to install samba for me. I click "install" and it proceeds, then throws up an error dialog: Could not find package 'libpam-smbpass' I can see that Samba packages are already installed at this point.
