Hi,

On an amd64 Sid system, steam (i386 only) depends on xterm |
x-terminal-emulator. I already have mate-terminal installed, which
provides x-terminal-emulator, but both apt and aptitude don't care and
want to install xterm along with steam.

Shouldn't apt be happy with mate-terminal:amd64 and install steam
without pulling xterm in ?

Apparently not.
Wow, very useful answer. Thanks a lot !

Given that most packages are trivially small compared with disk space and memory these days, especially on gaming computers, the question itself is almost pointless. Just pull in the dependency and forget about it.
