The Steam that comes with Deepin will not open on Deepin 15.4. (A fresh install)
It gives the error "Fatal Error: Failed to load steamui.so"

Running `steam` in the terminal helps us debug. "Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run: libc.so.6"

Running `sudo apt-get install libc.so.6` fails to find the package.

Running `sudo apt-get install libc.so` installs 6 different things.

Running `steam` again still throws the same error.

Please help and please fix the source of the problem so other less technical users do not run in to this problem.

try this: sudo apt install libc6:i386. Then run steam again.

libc6:i386 is already the newest version (2.24-5)

What else can I try? Is this a problem for everyone and if so how can we fix it for everyone?

Do you think this is a problem with Deepin or Steam?

I've tried so many different articles for this error and can't get it to work. I guess I'll live a life without games
