FWIW I just found this issue in Bionic. BTW error messages like "Sharing service installation has failed" drive me nuts.

The error "Sharing service installation failed" pops up with this explanation "Sharing service installation has failed. Would you like to retry the installation?" (Retry/Cancel buttons are there). Retry is not working either. This worked flawless in Natty.
