    Remove it and install directly from the official repositories.

I know its old but no answer exists so I recommend you try:

sudo apt-get remove --purge steam

then

sudo apt-get install steam

This should auto install it from the official repo's and work just fine.

Ah. yes. This problem has been a problem for many steam users on linux systems... This worked for me..

  1. Make sure you are connected to the internet
  2. then try sudo apt-get update
  3. then sudo apt-get install libc6-i386

If that doesn't work, try:

find /lib -name libc.so.6
ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6
mkdir ~/steamcmd2 && cd $_
wget http://media.steampowered.com/client/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
tar -xvzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
./steamcmd.sh

Then type in ./steam.sh

that worked for me, i hope it helped you.

P.S. I'm running Linux Ubuntu MATE 16.4
