Bug#485838: rhythmbox: error message shown when activating "DLNA/UPnP sharing and control support" plugin is unhelpful

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.11.5-5
Severity: normal

When the "DNLA/UPnP sharing and control support" plugin is enabled, the
following error is displayed:

 Plugin Error

 Unable to activate plugin DLNA/PnP sharing and control support

This is not a helpful error message as it does not tell the user what
they can do to make the plugin work.

Ideally, either python-coherence should be installed by default, or it
would be installed when the user enables the plugin.
