Package: steam-libs Version: 1:1.0.0.85~ds-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] User: [email protected] Usertags: i386 User: [email protected] Usertags: amd64 Dear Maintainer, The latest steam client cannot be executed, we get: ~~~~ $ steam [..] [----] Verifying installation... [2025-11-30 11:09:11] Verification complete UpdateUI: skip show logo dlmopen /opt/steam/ubuntu12_32/steamui.so failed: libXtst.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory dlmopen steamui.so failed: steamui.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Failed to load steamui.so - dlerror(): (null) ~~~~ The missing file can be located with `apt-file search libXtst.so.6`, then aftering installing the i386 architecture of this package, the error changes to a different missing file. After doing this dance for a while we eventually get to: ~~~~ $ apt install libpipewire-0.3-0t64:i386 libxtst6:i386 libgtk2.0-0t64:i386 libxcb-res0:i386 $ steam [..] [----] Verifying installation... [2025-11-30 11:06:13] Verification complete UpdateUI: skip show logo dlmopen /opt/steam/ubuntu12_32/steamui.so failed: libvpx.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory dlmopen steamui.so failed: steamui.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Failed to load steamui.so - dlerror(): (null) ~~~~ Which cannot be resolved because libvpx6 is no longer in Debian - and installing libvpx-dev:i386 does not help. It does seem to be the last one that's missing, however. ~~~~ $ ldd -r /opt/steam/ubuntu12_32/steamui.so [..] libbrotlicommon.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libbrotlicommon.so.1 (0xf1176000) undefined symbol: vpx_codec_set_frame_buffer_functions (/opt/steam/ubuntu12_32/libavcodec.so.61) undefined symbol: vpx_codec_version_str (/opt/steam/ubuntu12_32/libavcodec.so.61) undefined symbol: vpx_codec_error_detail (/opt/steam/ubuntu12_32/libavcodec.so.61) undefined symbol: vpx_codec_get_frame (/opt/steam/ubuntu12_32/libavcodec.so.61) undefined symbol: vpx_codec_destroy (/opt/steam/ubuntu12_32/libavcodec.so.61) undefined symbol: vpx_codec_error (/opt/steam/ubuntu12_32/libavcodec.so.61) undefined symbol: vpx_codec_build_config (/opt/steam/ubuntu12_32/libavcodec.so.61) undefined symbol: vpx_codec_dec_init_ver (/opt/steam/ubuntu12_32/libavcodec.so.61) undefined symbol: vpx_codec_decode (/opt/steam/ubuntu12_32/libavcodec.so.61) undefined symbol: vpx_codec_vp8_dx (/opt/steam/ubuntu12_32/libavcodec.so.61) undefined symbol: vpx_codec_vp9_dx (/opt/steam/ubuntu12_32/libavcodec.so.61) ~~~~ Best, X -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'stable-security'), (300, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental'), (1, 'experimental-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.17.8+deb14-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages steam-libs:i386 depends on: ii ca-certificates 20250419 ii curl 8.17.0-3 ii file 1:5.46-5 ii libcrypt1 1:4.5.1-1 ii libgcc-s1 15.2.0-7 ii libgl1 1.7.0-1+b2 ii libgl1-mesa-dri 25.2.6-1 ii libgpg-error0 1.56-2 ii libnm0 1.54.1-1 ii libstdc++6 15.2.0-7 ii libudev1 259~rc1-1 ii libva-x11-2 2.22.0-3 ii libva2 2.22.0-3 ii libxcb-dri3-0 1.17.0-2+b1 ii libxcb1 1.17.0-2+b1 ii libxi6 2:1.8.2-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.4-3+b4 ii xz-utils 5.8.1-2 Versions of packages steam-libs:i386 recommends: ii fontconfig 2.15.0-2.4 ii fonts-liberation 1:2.1.5-3 ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 3.58.0-1 ii i965-va-driver [va-driver] 2.4.1+dfsg1-2 ii intel-media-va-driver-non-free [va-driver] 25.4.2+ds1-1 ii libasound2-plugins 1.2.12-2+b1 ii libegl1 1.7.0-1+b2 ii libexpat1 2.7.3-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.15.0-2.4 ii libgbm1 25.2.6-1 ii libsdl2-2.0-0 2.32.10+dfsg-4 ii libusb-1.0-0 2:1.0.29-2 ii libva-drm2 2.22.0-3 ii libva-glx2 2.22.0-3 ii libx11-6 2:1.8.12-1 ii libx11-xcb1 2:1.8.12-1 ii libxau6 1:1.0.11-1 ii libxcb-dri2-0 1.17.0-2+b1 ii libxcb-glx0 1.17.0-2+b1 ii libxcb-present0 1.17.0-2+b1 ii libxcb-sync1 1.17.0-2+b1 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.6-1+b2 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.1.5-1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.4-1+b3 ii libxfixes3 1:6.0.0-2+b4 ii libxkbcommon-x11-0 1.12.3-1 ii libxkbcommon0 1.12.3-1 ii libxss1 1:1.2.3-1+b3 ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.4-2 ii mesa-va-drivers [va-driver] 25.2.6-1 ii mesa-vulkan-drivers 25.2.6-1 ii steam-devices 1:1.0.0.85~ds-2 ii va-driver-all 2.22.0-3 ii xdg-desktop-portal 1.20.3+ds-1 ii xdg-desktop-portal-gtk [xdg-desktop-portal-backend] 1.15.3-2 ii xdg-utils 1.2.1-2 ii xfce4-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 1.1.4-1 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 403-1 ii zenity 4.1.99-1 Versions of packages steam-libs:i386 suggests: ii gtk2-engines-pixbuf 2.24.33-9 ii libgtk2.0-0t64 [libgtk2.0-0] 2.24.33-9 pn libudev0 <none> pn nvidia-driver-libs <none> pn nvidia-vulkan-icd <none> ii pipewire 1.4.9-1 -- no debconf information
