I'm running Steam for Linux (native, not Wine) on Ubuntu 12.10 32 bits. Since the last Steam update, it doesn't work anymore. Instead of starting, it pops a terminal claiming that it needs to install an additional package. Unfortunately, the operation doesn't work. Here's the output:

Steam needs to install these additional packages: 
    steam-launcher
[sudo] password for tvuillemin: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package steam-launcher
Press return to continue: 

My OS is up-to-date. I tried to reinstall Steam both from the Ubuntu Software Center and from the Steam website, but I got precisely the same error. I also looked for a repository with this package, but I didn't find anything relevant.

Any clue? Thanks in advance.

    see this github issue. They solved and closed the issue 40 minutes ago. It can take some time until the fix gets in the ubuntu packages. Feb 23, 2013 at 22:27

Try to update your sources first:

sudo apt-get update

And then try again or search for steam-launcher in the Software Center for example.
