Comment 2 for bug 1608061

nemo-share is essential for integrating Linux Mint into a not tech-savvy Windows network. Having it blow up until Samba is installed is not an acceptable situation.

Either:

1. Samba should be preinstalled. The package nemo-share does not work without it, but does not list it as a dependency. nemo-share (and therefore Samba) is essential for integrating Linux Mint into a Windows network.

2.The error message should be rewritten to include a warning that Samba may not be installed. I'm not in direct favor of asking the user if they want to install it (and then doing so).
