Re: Steam on Debian

Hi Mark

I tried and failed, but I didn't spend more than a couple of hours on it. I never managed to completely fix the dependency chain for getting the Ubuntu package to install cleanly. Do you have any tips that you can remember? What Debian release are you running? i386 or amd64?

I doubt Steam will be expanding their distro support any time soon. Looks to me like they engaged Ubuntu some time ago to get the compiled in support they wanted.

Regards

Tom

Is there any (un)official Debian Steam client? Has anyone (but me) gotten
the native Steam client running well in Debian?

I had it running briefly through a great deal of manual labor, but I changed
my configurations several times, and now I am prohibited from installing the
Ubuntu .deb because of dependency issues (that involve binary
incompatibility).

Is there any word on the eventual ship date of such a thing as installing
Steam, or any news at all concerning it and Debian?
