I tried to install steam on Ubuntu 20.04 and steam had tried to install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 and libgl1:i386 but I received these errors.

Package libgl1:i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another package

However the following packages replace it:
  libgl1-mesa-dri


E: Package 'libgl1-mesa-dri:i386' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'libgl1:i386' has no installation candidate
  • I already have libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1 installed
  • I tried to do sudo apt-get installed --reinstalled libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1 but failed to download

Thank you Everyone in advance for your help.

Edit/Note: I have already enabled i386 Architecture before installing steam.

  • When did you last run sudo apt update? You may have messed up sources.list. What is the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list?Did you have libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1 installed for 64 bit only before? What is the output of apt-cache policy libgl1-mesa-dri? – Kulfy Nov 28 '20 at 13:43

This has helped me.

sudo apt purge steam
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install steam
