I keep trying to install steam but only get:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

  • Apparently I need libc6:amd64 libc6:i386 libegl1:amd64 libegl1:i386 libgbm1:amd64 libgbm1:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1:amd64 libgl1:i386 steam-libs-amd64:amd64 steam-libs-i386:i386 How do you install these? – AM Proper Mar 27 '22 at 00:31
  • Edit your question with the output of sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade – Nmath Mar 27 '22 at 00:33
  • It looks like you added a repo for steam. You didn't need that so you can remove it. Then run sudo apt update again followed by sudo apt install steam - Also, please review edit history for examples of code fences (you need to use backticks instead of apostrophes, and the three backticks need to be on a new line before and after the code block) – Nmath Mar 27 '22 at 00:50
  • Beginning with 20.04 many of the 32 bit libraries got removed and only a select set is kept , and you need to enable those libraries by adding the architecture via dpkg have a look at the question i linked this question to. sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 should be the thing you're looking for. – Videonauth Mar 27 '22 at 00:52
  • Nmath, After doingsudo apt install steam I get this: reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done steam:i386 is already the newest version (1:1.0.0.74). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded – AM Proper Mar 27 '22 at 01:01
  • Remove everything you have done and install it from the vendor's page https://store.steampowered.com/about/ The package that gets installed is called steam-launcher along with its dependencies. It will also install the proper ppa. – Organic Marble Mar 27 '22 at 02:19
