Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?

steam:i386 has a recommendation for xdg-desktop-portal-backend:i386

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?

I attempted to satisfy the recommendation with a KDE backend, as KDE Plasma is
my primary desktop environment.

xdg-desktop-portal-kde fails to satisfy the dependency.

xdg-dekstop-portal-kde:i385 conflicts (via libkf5services-bin) with my 64-bit
KDE Plasma environemtn.

* What was the outcome of this action?

Unable to satisfy the dependency with a KDE backend.

* What outcome did you expect instead?

Would like to have Steam (in particular, but also Flatpack, Snap, etc.) to use
KDE applications, selectors, themes, etc. that are part of the XDG Portal
Service.  Even in the case of a 64-bit KDE install and a 32-bit Steam (or
Flatpack application).


Maybe this is not properly a steam bug, and should be handled by
xdg-dekstop-portal-kde source package instead.  But, I do think stream
architecture-dependent dependency is a big part of why this isn't working so
well for me.
