Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When Steam runs, it always created an invalid symlink on $HOME/.steampath. The symlink points to the invalid location $HOME/.steam/sdk32/steam.

On $HOME/.steam/sdk32 all I have is crashhandler.so, steamclient.so, steamerrorreporter

Hello @alosarjos, this is a required workaround for some games using Steamworks before 1.23.
