I've installed Steam on a AMD64 system through multi-arch with no difficulties, but it refuses to start. Any time I try it complains about a missing libGL1.so.1 32-bit library then says it failed to load steamui.so, here's the terminal output of steam:
Code: Select all

Additionally, this may have nothing to do with the problem but the following appeared during my recent upgrade of the libgl1-mesa packages:
