Package: steam
Version: 1.0.0.47-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

On a mixed system it is possible to install steam for testing on a plain stable (wheezy) installation without upgrading any library.

Running steam downloads the data and installs though starting leads to following error:

Running Steam on debian  64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libc.so.6
Error:
You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libc.so.6
Press enter to continue: 
Error: Couldn't find bootstrap, it's not safe to reset Steam. Please contact technical support.

Seems to me that the minimum version of libc6 should be raised in the dependencies of this package.


Cheers colliar
