Hi Julien,

I can't reproduce this bug, so could you provide step-by-step details of
how you're attempting to create the share? A screenshot of the message
would be nice too.

Hi,

i noticed that "testparm" once was part of the samba-common package
but has obviously been removed.

Aha, thanks for the information. I've poked around, and noticed that
testparm is now included in the samba-common-bin package. If you install
that, you should be able to use nautilus-share normally again. I'll
prepare an upload fixing nautilus-share's dependency.
