Package steam is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  steam-launcher

E: Package 'steam' has no installation candidate
alan@alan-RF511-RF411-RF711:~$ sudo apt-get install steam-launcher

    Have you tried downloading and installing from here? https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steam.deb Then all you need is to do is sudo dpkg -i /path/to/steam.deb – mbiber Oct 18 '15 at 01:18

Try this:

sudo apt-get install gdebi-core
sudo gdebi steam.deb
