Bug#823735: steam wants to install packages which are already installed

Sun May 8 09:10:03 UTC 2016

Package: steam
Version: 1.0.0.52-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When I start up steam, it pops up a small xterm telling me it has to install the following packages:
curl
python-apt
xterm
xz-util
zenity
libgl1-mesa-dri:i386
libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
libc6:i386

As a bonus there is this dpkg error:
dpkg: symbol lookup error: dpkg: undefined symbol: setexecfilecon

Then sudo asks for my password. After pressing Ctrl+C, the xterm closes and I can play my games as usual. I have not found any problems.

During the startup and this window, the following was printed out on the window I started steam:

process 16750: The last reference on a connection was dropped without closing the connection. This is a bug in an application. See dbus_connection_unref() documentation for details.
Most likely, the application was supposed to call dbus_connection_close(), since this is a private connection.
