What Ubuntu are you on? How are you installing it (or what commands are you running)? — J.Money, Dec 26 '16 at 23:03

If you have already tried to install it the more surely it will be that you have left dependencies then the first thing that you will have to do will be to execute sudo apt-get remove steam in case of error because this is not or what it is it goes to the next step that will be to update the list Of repositories with sudo apt-get update and after this a sudo apt-get autoremove to remove all the dependencies that may be giving problems. After doing all this you can re-run sudo apt-get install steam
