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.
