I just replaced my old win vista today with Ubuntu, a fresh install. I went to install steam, and it gave me this error.

Steam needs to install these additional packages: 
  libgl1-mesa-dri:i386, libgl1-mesa-glx:i386, libc6:i386

I try to install the packages, and it gives me this error.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 : Depends: libglapi-mesa:i386 (= 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.5)
 unity-control-center : Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be installed
                        Depends: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

I leave the window, and steam pops the error:

You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libGL.so.1'

I searched for other solutions and first tried a generic update.

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade;

It updated.

I tried from same solution:

wget {LIEN SUPPRIMÉ} -O /tmp/steam_1.0.0.27_i386.deb
wget {LIEN SUPPRIMÉ} -O /tmp/steam_1.0.0.27_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y ia32-libs
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/steam*.deb
sudo apt-get install -fy

which gives me this:..

danny@notquitealienware:~$ wget {LIEN SUPPRIMÉ} -O /tmp/steam_1.0.0.27_i386.deb

danny@notquitealienware:~$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

I also tried installing ia32-libs but get this:

However the following packages replace it:
  lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0

E: Package 'ia32-libs' has no installation candidate
danny@notquitealienware:~$ 

So I tried a new solution:

sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-utopic:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-utopic:i386

and got this:

"sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386" "sudo apt-get update" "Sudo apt-get install steam" "Sudo apt-get upgrade: You may also need to install ia32-libs; you will be able to do this after sudo apt-get update in the steps above.

  • That worked for me actually! Except after I rebooted, I got caught in a login screen loop (I would input password, and screen would flash and prompt password again) and couldn't even run the xerror prompt thing since it said I didnt have permissions.
