I remember some story with multi-arch evolutions over upgrades, but really not familiar with. I never used it.
I am not the best support for that.
If someone installed multiarch on Buster, or even steam... it should help.

[Lycanea]

Ah shoot. Well, I thank you for your patience and time anyways. ^^ Maybe someone with knowledge in that area will come along and help out at a later time. But either way thank you!

@OP: try adding the buster-updates repositories then update the database and install steam.

L_V never includes them when giving advice, not sure why.

L_V never includes them when giving advice, not sure why.

Code: Select all

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main

I don't see any explicit discrepancies with official Debian security update.
https://www.debian.org/security/

I don't see the difference between "deb.debian.org/debian-security" and "www.debian.org/security/".

stable-updates (which is not stable/updates):
"used for updates such as virus scanners and timezone data."

If your intention is not criticism only, can you be more positive to explain what is "missing", which should concretely help Lycanea to install steam ?
