I think this is the correct command to show the version that is actually installed, if not, please clarify how I can do that:

apt-cache --installed showpkg nautilus-share
Package: nautilus-share
Versions:
0.7.2-0ubuntu5 (/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy_main_binary-i386_Packages) (/var/lib/dpkg/status)

The nautilus-share package added the "share" options and also asked permission to install other packages when I first attempted to use them, which I gave it permission to do.

I understand the directions you linked to, but I still think there's a bug here from a typical user's perspective: there's a UI for it, but that UI doesn't work. I should be getting an invitation to provide the supervisor password and get myself enabled. The command line shouldn't be required for this everyday typical use of a PC.

Thanks for the help!
