Bug#921026: steam: Unable to start steam due to missing symbol in libGLX_mesa.so

[Alessio Gaeta]

Package: steam
Version: 1.0.0.59-2
Severity: important

Hello,

a fresh installed Steam does not start due to the error:

~/.steam/debian-installation/ubuntu12_32/steam: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGLX_mesa.so.0: undefined symbol:
xcb_dri3_get_supported_modifiers

To workaround the issue, it's enough to rename/delete the files:

~/.steam/debian-installation/ubuntu12_32/steam-
runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-dri3.so*
~/.steam/debian-installation/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-
gnu/libxcb-dri3.so*

This way the client starts, and so the only game I tried (i.e. workaruond not
thourough tested).

Thanks! Best
