Public bug reported: I'm new to Ubuntu, which means I have no fu*king idea what i'm doing. I tried to install steam on by 64bit machine but it wasn't working. I googled the error and found this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2242632 I then used " sudo apt-get install '^libc6.*' " which is entry #4 and ever since the error message appears, needless to say that steam still isn't working.
