Personal File Sharing missing packages

Asked by mark jensen

after installing personal file sharing, it won't allow sharing files over the network "because the required packages are not installed", but won't specify which packages need to be installed.

I need a button to "install required packages".

Ran "sudo apt-get install samba", it installed, and I still get "This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system"

sudo apt-get install apache2.2-bin libapache2-mod-dnssd samba gnome-user-share

It'll work then.
