Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
This should be a showstopper.
Hardy needs a GUI for setting up shared folders on a local network.
But the required binary is missing!
A variety of files are missing from the hardy 2.22.0-0ubuntu4 build.
These files do exist in 2.22.0-0ubuntu3.
How many hours did it take for me to figure this out?
Don't ask.
I downloaded a new versions of the #4 deb from packages.
That one was identical to what came with mythbuntu.
/usr/bin/
it does exist in #3
I installed the #3 build and I am now able to set up file shares.
The missing files are listed here:

Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04
I went and read the change log and I see this:
- don't install shares-admin since nautilus-share is used in hardy
But I think there are still some big problems:
xubuntu depends on this package and does not use nautilus.
mythbuntu recommends this package and does not use natulis.
The package description still claims to support administering network shares.
Is somebody planning to make shares-admin into a separate package for xubuntu/mythbuntu?
Please don't leave them broken.
Regards,
Mike
