Public bug reported:
there is a steam_latest.deb package at Steam website I should have used.
The apt package is bad; requires an old nvidia-driver-lib:i386 install
that is not in repository. This corrupted the steam-installer package
which I had to reinstall and then remove to install the steam_latest.deb
package. Just annoying...
