Please recheck if the addition of the architecutre has worked, and remember you'll need to apt update afterwards, Checking in a chroot, I get the exact error message as you are getting, when there is _no_ i386 architecture added, but after adding it and after apt-update, steam-installer can be installed. -- Cheers, tobi
