Bug#831602: steam:i386: BadValue X error on startup, addressed by using system libgpg-error

[Simon McVittie]

Package: steam
Version: 1.0.0.52-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Forwarded: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3820

Steam is failing to start up on my system, with:

SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)

As suggested on https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3820
I removed the private copy of libgpg-error from the Steam Runtime, and that
appears to address this. It might be useful to extend the libstdc++
workaround to do that too.

I upgraded Mesa to version 12 (from experimental) since last time Steam
worked, although I can't see how that could be relevant, given the
workaround. Alternatively, perhaps the Steam binaries have recently started
using something libgcrypt-related?
