Bug Description
In trying to figure out how to use bluetooth, I came across this problem.
1. Go to Bluetooth Preferences.
2. Click the "Receive Files" button
3. A dialog appears. The titlebar reads, "Personal File Sharing Preferences".
4. A message at the top of the dialog says, "This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system".
This is a rather uninformative error. Which packages are missing? It should either: a) Offer to install the missing packages, or b) list the missing packages so users can install them themselves.
I'm running Lucid Netbook Edition.

Bluetooth was working fine for me but after upgrade to Natty, it only works if I kill and restart the daemon and then still not completely functional showing the above mentioned message in settings for the same reason.
